Bug#433448: [gnome-session] I got ten instances of a program on saved session startup.

[Mika Rastas]

Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.22.3-2

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

I think I found a related bug on my system just a few days ago. I had
just set gnome-session-properties to "save session = enabled" for a
while. After a few reboots I went to disable it as it didn't meet my
needs. To my surprise I found out that I'm running ten instances of
seahorse-agent with different sm-config-prefix options. Seahorse-agent
didn't have the parameter --sm-disable.
 
I disabled the instances by saving a session where I killed them. Though
I think the instances shouldn't have been there in the first place.

The other programs that had --sm-disable didn't save to the session and
start multiple instances anymore. So if thats the only case this issue
is tracking it can probably be closed.

Though gnome-session should probably still have a bug on saved sessions
as the above behaviour isn't what people want.
