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.
