Details

Description:

I use "System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications" to run a script at startup. This script loads all my apps (browser, file manager, terminals etc). Although it has worked perfectly in the past, after the update to gnome 2.32 it seems the script gets executed multiple times (usually 3).

If I turn the script off in Startup Applications, nothing loads (so I assume gnome isn't saving my previous session). If I run gnome-session manually, it gives the error: "Could not acquire name on session bus" and then proceeds to infinite loop. I'm not sure if this is related to my problem.


Additional info:
* package version(s)

version 2.32.0-1

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

1. Write a bash script to load programs on login
2. add the script to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications
3. log out
4. log in
This task depends upon
