Description Hendrik Kaju 2007-12-06 12:35:37 UTC 
Section 8.5.2.1 mentions several dialog elements not found anymore in Gnome 2.20.1:
* Show splash screen on login
* Prompt on logout
* Automatically save changes to session - should be 'Automatically remember running applications when logging out'
* The whole 'Sessions' area of the dialog is missing

Comment 5 Shaun McCance 2009-03-08 22:22:53 UTC 
This patch leaves in the section on the Current Session tab.  I don't see this tab any more.  Should this section be axed?
Comment 6 Matthias Clasen 2009-03-09 13:24:47 UTC 
Yes, it should

removes Current Session deprecated information

This patch applies the previously made changes in the original patch, and removes the "Current Session" information that is no longer applicable
Comment 8 Phil Bull 2009-04-06 10:21:24 UTC 
The Session Preferences tool is covered in sufficient depth in the "Desktop Sessions" section of the userguide (gosstartsession.xml, specifically user-guide.xml#gosstartsession-2). Can we just remove this section altogether and update any links?
