Comment:
I think this is related so I am commenting on this bug rather than starting a new one.
I cannot delete any of the startup items from the gnome-session-properties GUI.
Even if the items where added by me rather than being default items added during install.

When i try to delete any item from gnome-session-properties the UI hangs.
Also when adding my own startup program I get errors about not being able to write to the already exisiting .desktop files in /usr/share/autostart even though I have not modified those items.

I'm running up to date dapper on an iBook G4.
