Confirmed here.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache policy gnome-session
gnome-session:
  Installed: 2.23.6-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2.23.6-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2.23.6-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Steps to reproduce:
1. Delete ~/.config/autostart if it exists (or move it if you want to retain 
its contents)
2. Open gnome-session-properties in terminal
3. Add an entry

What should happen:
1. gnome-session-properties should happily create the folder 
~/.config/autostart and add a new .desktop file to it

What actually happens:
1. gnome-session-properties fails to create our new .desktop file and spits out 
the following error:

** (gnome-session-properties:6053): WARNING **: Could not save
/home/chr1s/.config/autostart/firefox.desktop file

If you manually add ~/.config/autostart before you try to add the new
session entry, then it works. ~/.config/autostart isn't present on a
fresh user profile

** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed
