Comment 1 for bug 276134

This happens to me as well with Intrepid Beta updated today. I tested with both an old and a new account with equal results. A simple way to test is just opening Firefox, visiting some URL and ending the GNOME session (a log out will do, no need to shut down). If you log in again and start Firefox it will report that the previous session was terminated abruptly. Other applications, such as OpenOffice are similarly affected.

I reported this already in Bug #249373, which is not exactly about this same issue, but that is apparently related. In that bug report user Lukas Hejtmanek confirms that he's observing the same behavior.

This bug *should not* be triaged as low priority. It is not only a serious regression, but *will cause data loss* when a user forgets saving before ending her session. I would appreciate people to check if they observe the problem and report here, so that the bug can be at least set to CONFIRMED.
