Public bug reported: 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. ** Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Confusing description "Remember Currently Running Application" under Startup Applications Preferences --> Options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568185 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
