Description Sebastien Bacher 2006-03-31 11:09:20 UTC
That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/32194

"in gnome-session-properties 2.13.91-0ubuntu1, there is no way to set the order that startup program will launch. The list items are not drag/drop capable, nor is there a "move up"/"move down" button combination on the Startup Programs tab. When Adding/Editing a startup program, there is no option to specify a starting order (used to have a number fiedl defaulted to 50 in breezy). On top of this, the order I add startup programs in isn't maintained. If I add mail-notification, compiz, and gnome-window-decorator, the next time I log in they will be listed in this order instead: compiz; mail-notification; gnome-window-decorator. So it's not even resorting them in alphabetical order! But it does re-arrange them into the same order every time.

> What changed about that dialog? Could you make a screenshot of the dialog you use to change the priority?

That field is gone. I've attached two screenshots.

The Startup Programs tab

I mislabeled that first screenshot. That one was the editable properties of a startup item. This one is the Startup Programs tab of the Sessions window.

I have the same problem on Dapper Flight 5, with the added problem of changes not being saved. More precisely, I can add programs to the startup list (with no priority info), but if I delete one, then close and restart (the command for me is gnome-session-properties), the deleted program remains on the list.
Is this worth a separate bug report?"

Note I have a patch for the "delete button doesn't work" problem in bug 333670 (by not allowing the delete button at all, and only allowing the disable button).  I'm just waiting for feedback on it before I commit.
