Bug#466722: gnome-session does not honor "don't save changes" when shutting down on low power

[Sander Marechal]

Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.14.3-5
Severity: normal


In my gnome-session-preferences I have unchecked "Automatically save changes
to session". But when my laptop shuts down automatically because it's low on power,
gnome-session still saves my session. As a result I get the dreaded bug #284090
"Splash image doesn't shut itself down after loading the environment" which in turn
leads to bug #305471 (not being able to logout).

The "fix" for me was to delete the default session found in gnome-session-preferences.
But IMHO gnome-session should not have saved the session in the first place.
