Bug#855296: mate-desktop: MATE does not remember running programs on logout

[Thomas Crescenzi]

Package: mate-desktop
Version: 1.16.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

In MATE, there is an option in the Startup Applications preference app, under 
the Options tab to remember currently running applications on logout so that 
they start the next time the user logs in. Despite being checked, this is not 
working.
