Description Debbie Charan 2006-02-27 14:37:38 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I have tried changing the "Startup Programs" in gnome-session-properties dialog
box and it is saved, but on logout, changes are lost.  I've switched to "Current
Session" and hit apply and still nothing.  I found the file
.../.gnome2/session-manual, it has the changes, but if I logout and log back in,
they are lost.

Steps to reproduce:
1. run gnome-session-properties and go to the "Startup Programs" tab
2. add /usr/bin/ssh-add with order 70 and hit OK
3. Close and logout


Actual results:
When I log back in and look at the file, or run gnome-session-properties again
the re is no record of my changes

Expected results:
I would expect ssh-add to be run when I log in.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
Nope.

Unfortunately, we don't support this version of GNOME anymore, and the way we handle startup programs is not the same anymore (we're following the freedesktop spec now). Closing the bug as OBSOLETE.
