Hello,

   I have found the same issue in Feisty. Besides that, I can't add new entries in startup programs, they are not saved. The solution I have found is to edit manually /home/"your_user"/.gnome2/session or session~ like this:

  At the end of this file there are entries that start by a number and look like this "12,RestartCommand=beryl-manager"... if we would like to add for example, glipper as startup program after beryl load, then we would select its position with the correspondent number + "," + "RestartCommand=full path" (13,RestartCommand=/usr/bin/glipper), if there is some doubt I attach you my /home/myuser/.gnome2/session and you can see how the programs I want load in the order that I want...

   At the end of session file there is a line called "num_clients=" after equal sign it is necessary to put the last number plus 1 (in the attached file 16). Don't forget to save this file as /home/"your_user"/.gnome2/session, if everything goes well you will see the programs you want in the order you want after rebooting the machine...

Alberto.
