Bug Description
- how to produce -
To manage the (startup) sessions from the GUI, the user can startup the session manager using the following steps: system > preferences > sessions. Open 2 or more dialogs this way.
- problem -
In this dialog the user can choose which services to start (and which not). The problem occurs when there are multiple instances open from this dialog and when the settings in these dialogs are different (changed by the user). The user does not know which settings will be stored, because there are multiple dialogs with different settings.
- suggestion -
make this dialog window a single instance version and refocus this window if the user tries to open another window.
Let me know if you need more info.
version: Ubuntu 8.10 using gnome (sorry had no spare machine around to test 9.04)

Thanks for the bug DutchTest. I'm setting the affected package to gnome-session. I'll check upstream to see if a similar bug exists.
