Bug#385685: gnome-session: Automatically save changes to session does strange things after toggled off

[Mike Hommey]

Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.14.3-1
Severity: normal

Ever since I tried to save an "empty" session to replace my previous
session that was lauching rhythmbox at startup, I get both a ${HOME}
nautilus window and a gnome-session-properties dialog at startup.

The way I do it is the following:
- Since the "save the session" checkbox disappeared from the logout
  dialog, I go in the gnome session properties and check "Automatically
  save changes to session"
- Logout
- Login. Here, everything is okay, the session is empty.
- I go again in the gnome session properties and uncheck "Automatically
  save changes to session". Here, I would expect the current setting
  (being that nothing is launched) to be kept.
- Logout
- Login. Here, I get the nautilus window and the
  gnome-session-properties dialog at startup.

If I try again from the beginning, I have the exact same thing
(intermediate step okay and all)
