Bug Description

It is not at all intuitive that one should look in the Sessions menu for "Startup programs"

It is not at all intuitive that one should look in the Sessions menu for "Startup programs". That should be one level higher up in the menu structure, as its own item under Preferences. Most users -- certainly most newbies -- have no idea what a Session is.

Thanks for your bug. gnome-menus is not the right place for that bug, it only lists the menu items according to what the .desktop define. There is no "Startup programs" menu item, do you speak about the tab of the session management dialog? What suggestion do you make to change it?
