Title:
Confusing description "Remember Currently Running Application" under
Startup Applications Preferences --> Options
Status in The GNOME 2 Session Manager:
Expired
Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-session
Version: Ubuntu Karmic 9.10, gnome-session 2.28.0-0ubuntu5
Under Startup Applications Preferences --> Options tab, there is a button
"Remember Currently Running Application". This sounds like it will let you pick
a currently running application to remember. In fact, it remembers all running
applications permanently.
Users may infer that "Remember Currently Running Application" would
pop up a choose-application dialog box, which would presumably have a
Cancel button. Thus they assume it is safe to press. (I did this, and
apparently others have:
http://www.google.com/search?q=gnome+OR+ubuntu+%22remember+currently+running+application%22
or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1335047 )
Since the GUI provides no way to undo pressing the button (this is Bug
#60863), it should be clarified what it does, by renaming it to
something like "Permanently Remember Running Applications".
Alternatively, just remove the button, since it's broken.
