Title:
  gnome-session-properties / Startup Applications will *NOT* disable
  programs

Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-session

  Here's what I do:

  I go into System > Preferences > Startup Applications and disable
  (uncheck) the applications I don't want to start.  I restart the
  system, and yet those programs still started.  I look at Startup
  Applications again, but they're still unchecked.  So, I go into
  ~/.config/autostart and the .desktop links for all those applications
  are *still* in the directory, even though I unchecked them in Startup
  Applications.  So, I manually delete all the links, and restart.  The
  programs *still* start.  Then I go back into Startup Applications, and
  everything is magically checked again.  Frustrating!
