[Bug 71200] No programs can be added in the startup list.

[geokok]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: startup-tasks

This seems to be a random problem. Some have and some not.
To add a program to automatically startup I would go to :
system-->preferences-->sessions-->startup programs.
There I can add an application to the the list but it is not saved (if I close and reopen session manager it is not there and the app will not start on next login).

In the forums a workaround was suggested at this link:
