Description Tobias Mueller 2015-02-22 21:46:18 UTC 
This has been reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-tweak-tool/+bug/1316289
and a patch is available here: https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-tweak-tool/pull/1/


when gnome-tweak-tool is started via gnome-shell dash or .desktop file in /usr/share/applications, i cannot add "startup applications" by clicking the '+' button. clicking on '+' produces no response.

but when the same is started via terminal , clicking on the '+' button returns a list of applications that can be added. this is the intended behaviour (screenshot attached).

uninstall/re-install din't fix the problem. OS: ubuntuGnome 14.04 64bit fresh install.

This has been fixed upstream for some time now, you're just using an old version.
