Comment 19 for bug 93613

Well, here's how it turned out: due to a few other issues I was having I just decided to rename my home folder and reinstall feisty. After that, I moved all my files back and most of my hidden config directories. I *did not* move .gconf, .gnome, and .gnome2 back. At that point, everything worked perfectly. Then I started apt-getting my favorite software. At some point, yesterday, after I thought the problem was finally dealt with, I got the same "Your session lasted (...)" message. It was happening every time I logged in after that. Since I had just installed the mail notification sys-tray applet, I decided to go into its preferences and unselect "autostart mail notification upon session opening". It worked. The problem went away. Every time I re-select that option, the problem comes back. This is very strange because the .xsession-errors file does not mention that program at all. In any case, I just thought someone else may want to know that, at least in my case, it seems the mail notification applet is the culprit.
