Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-session
Problem :
When you open the system > preference > sessions windows and uncheck the items you don't need (typical example is bluetooth applet for those who don't have bluetooth) this has no effect on your session file and all the items are still launched.
Reproduce this :
Go to system > preference > sessions, uncheck bluetooth applet and save your session (with gnome-session-save command for instance) then open your .gnome2/session file you will see that bluetooth applet is still launched.
Where it becomes annoying :
Many users are experiencing long login time and loading things you don't need despites you unchecked the corresponding items correctly can be really frustrating.
Thanks for your report, Which version of Ubuntu are you using? If you disable an application it should create an entry at ~/.config/ autostart/ something. desktop with a X-GNOME- Autostart- enabled= false entry on it, what do you have in there?, thanks.
