I can't confirm this. I'm using a new installation of Gutsy, with my /home directory preserved.
However "sudo gnome-sessions-properties" will not allow you to add startup programs for your user, instead it seems it will add them for root. This is why you do not see entries added with sudo reflected in your own gnome-session-properties. Also, /usr/share/gnome/autostart will affect all users on your system. Did you upgrade to Gutsy, or perform a fresh install? Did you use Feisty? Did it work for you then? Check the folder: /home/yourusername/.config/autostart there should be a collection of .desktop files. Is a file added when you add it with the session properties manager? If you type the following in Terminal: watch ls ~/.config/autostart/ then you will see an automatically refreshing list of files in that folder. Press Ctrl + C to exit. -- [Gutsy Final Release] System> Preferences> Sessions is broken! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154685 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
