Hi,

I have a better identified the two problems.

The first problem is that the line "Exec=" of file 
"/usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop" does not support the command with 
arguments. However, the gnome-session command accepts arguments. Ubuntu 
version corrects this problem.

The second problem is more strange.

In gnome-session-properties in the "Options" tab, when you check 
"Remember automatically applications running at logout" to logout it 
creates files in the folder "~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session/".

In the case where there was an terminal open when logout, it creates a 
file called "cairo-dock.desktop" in the folder 
"~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session/". This file contains:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Terminal
Comment=Use the command line
TryExec=gnome-terminal
Exec=gnome-terminal --sm-client-id 
10b640906f608ec80d135297575769740300000019930029 --sm-client-state-file 
/home/fredo/.config/session-state/gnome-terminal-1352976798.desktop
Icon=utilities-terminal
Type=Application
X-GNOME-DocPath=gnome-terminal/index.html

X-GNOME-Autostart-discard-exec=/bin/rm -rf 
/home/fredo/.config/session-state/gnome-terminal-1352976798.desktop


This is the file 
"~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session/cairo-dock.desktop" is causing 
the problem, if one removes before connecting cairo-dock is started.

I do not understand why the terminal is associated with a session file 
named "cairo-dock.desktop".

I tried to close the session with just Firefox launched without a 
terminal, and the session file for Firefox called 
"1049abe3421476eca2135297964752518300000058440031.desktop", it does not 
interfere with cairo-dock.



Regards.
