Comment 3 for bug 533318

I've just checked this case with strace and it doesn't looks to me that it ever trying to create gtg.desktop in /home/mrk/.config/autostart/ when i check the option. But when i uncheck it checks if this file is available in right place:

stat("/home/mrk/.config/autostart/gtg.desktop", 0xbfbfc5a8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

When i check this option it's try to stat in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/:

stat("/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtg.desktop", 0xbfbfc5a8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

May be it take you some hint about the problem.
