Sessions preferences help outdated

thanks for your bug, reassigning to the package of the user guide

This bug is still there for the current 2.14.2-0ubuntu1 package in dapper.

Could anyone confirm this? Should it be forwarded upstream?

Marking as confirmed and right, it should be forwarded upstream since they are the people writting it

Forwarded upstream and added a tracker.

This bug is still present in edgy.

This bug is still present in Hardy.

A little more information from http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351086#c2

=== excerpt begins ===
Here's the relevant part in the code:

GnomeUIInfo state_data[] = {
  GNOMEUIINFO_ITEM_STOCK(N_("Inactive"),
                         N_("Waiting to start or already finished."),
                         NULL, GNOME_STOCK_MENU_BLANK),
  GNOMEUIINFO_ITEM_STOCK(N_("Starting"),
                         N_("Started but has not yet reported state."),
                         NULL, GNOME_STOCK_MENU_TIMER),
  GNOMEUIINFO_ITEM_STOCK(N_("Running"),
                         N_("A normal member of the session."),
                         NULL, GNOME_STOCK_MENU_EXEC),
  GNOMEUIINFO_ITEM_STOCK(N_("Saving"),
                         N_("Saving session details."),
                         NULL, GNOME_STOCK_MENU_SAVE),
  GNOMEUIINFO_ITEM_STOCK(N_("Unknown"),
                         N_("State not reported within timeout."),
                         NULL, GNOME_STOCK_PIXMAP_HELP),
  GNOMEUIINFO_END
};

Second string is an explanation of the state and the fourth field is the icon
used.

Most apps are in the "running" state (with the exec icon).

Is it just me? - In Oneiric in Startup Applications Preferences: <Help>:

The URI ‘ghelp:user-guide?gosstartsession-2#gosstartsession-2’ does not point to a valid page.

Is there something I need to install?

But is this still a Gnome bug or is it a Unity bug?

the issue described in the new comments is bug #838539
