Saving the session with gaim running will result in a broken .session file.

[Hidde Brugmans]

If you set gnome-session to load gaim at startup, the gaim icon will not show in
the notification-area applet untill gaim is closed and restarted.
this happens regardless of which priority of gaim, while other auto-starting
apps, ie rythmbox or update-notifier work fine.

are you using warty or hoary ? what happen if you save your session with gaim
running instead of using the session startup interface ?

I'm using hoary.
Somehow saving my session crashed it, so uploading the borked session file

It seems gaim will now always come up in the applet. I've not had any problems
with the applet crashing nor the icon not loading.
However, gaim will still mess up ever single session that I save with gaim open.
renaming bug.

do you still have this issue?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

no reply, bug closed. Feel free to reopen if that's still an issue for you

Session file is no longer broken.
Only thing that happens is that I get 2 instances running due to it starting up
when I start a new session, which I've manually added to preferences > sessions
