        Session programs are always saved with the result of following syml=
inks
        resulting in strange behavior.  For example
        /home/kris is symlinked to /disks/merrimack1/users/kris.
       =20
        For example in a simple gnome-terminal:
       =20
        Executing the command 'pwd' in the shell reports /home/kris,
        while executing gnome-session-save will leave /disks/merrimack1/use=
rs/kris
        in the currentDirectory field of the .gnome2/session file.

I don't understand the issue there. Can you please explain which
practical problems this creates? Otherwise I'll have to close this bug.

Regards,
