Bug Description

helllo,
there is a little bug, or little hole that does not prevent froms error like i did, which makes your account working no longer...
In the system > Prefer > session you can choose which command you want to execute on startup

I tiped

Sudo mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 /mnt/data

and now on each startup the loading does not progress, probablly beaceause it is waiting for the su password ... And it is very hard (nearly impossible) to find the file to edit the bugged line and delete/modifie it ...

I hope this will help some others beginners like me, and if someone knows the wanted file to delete the line he is welcome to giving some help!

Sorry for my bad english , and Thx to all!

Thanks for your bug. I'm not sure of what is your issue with the package, that seems to be an user error. If you are just opening a bug to get a reply to your question you probably want to user the support tracker: https://launchpad.net/support or an user forum. Maybe you are searching for ~/.gnome2/session-manual?

I think rapidos says that if you launch something that doesn't complete in your personal gnome session settings, you cannot recover from it graphically.
Can you confirm this rapidos ?
If this is the thing you want to report, I don't confirm this behaviour.
Maybe it changed on gnome 2.16 / edgy.

adding a command with sudo the the session on edit doesn't block the login, marking as fixed. Feel free to reopen if you get the issue again
