Bug#526807: gnome-panel: shutdown button does not work after upgrade to 2.26

[Norbert Preining]

Hi Josselin,

I have removed all autostart files and it worked. Then I added only one
for my own essential programs.

Now it starts, but still the shutdown button is greyed out.
Interestingly, once I saw the button NOT greyed out, but then again
greyed out after logging in. Strange.

Here the current .xsession-errors.

I didn't find gnome-session-dbg, are there any debug symbols for that,
or do I have to recompile the beast?

Here are the errors of the current start, I assume that it has something
to do with the 
	Window manager warning: Failed to read saved session file /home/norbert/.config/metacity/sessions/1079.....

these two warnings are really surprising. Could it be that they come
from:
	.config/autostart/xsession-start.desktop:
	[Desktop Entry]
	Type=Application
	Name=xsession-start
	Exec=/home/norbert/bin/xsession-start
	Icon=system-run
	Comment=Starting my own essential programs
But I have added the startup link using gnome itself, and it works, I
mean the respective script is executed.

That is again very unclear for me.

Hope that gives you a hint.
