Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and making Ubuntu better. I took the liberty of reassigning this bug to the package gnome-session-bin which includes Startup Applications. The Options tab is present in Maverick, but is missing for me as well on Natty. (gnome-session-bin version 2.32.1-0ubuntu12)
