Title:
  Startup/Autostart programs such as nm-applet not started for new user
  accounts

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-session

  After installing Lucid Lynx, I created a second account for my wife,
  using the User configuration tool from the System -> Adminstration
  menu. I gave the second account _all_ possible permissions, access
  wireless, adminster the system etc.

  After restarting and logging into my wife's account, I notice that
  wireless is not working, an no wireless status is shown in the top
  panel. Manually starting 'nm-applet' from a terminal fixes the
  problem.

  Also startup sound is not played.  So I check the auto-start settings
  (System->Preferences->Session, or how it is called in the english
  Ubuntu; i.e. gnome-session-properties executable).  Adding a new test
  entry (xterm) does not have any effect on new logins.

  Using 'pstree' I compare the running programs on the primary system
  account created at installation, and my wife's account.  This shows a
  grave difference.  The primary account runs the following programs
  under gnome-session:

  -wor-+-gnome-session-+-bluetooth-apple
       |               |-compiz---sh---gtk-window-deco
       |               |-evolution-alarm---{evolution-alar}
       |               |-gdu-notificatio
       |               |-gnome-panel
       |               |-gnome-power-man
       |               |-ibus-daemon-+-ibus-gconf
       |               |             |-python
       |               |             `-{ibus-daemon}
       |               |-nautilus
       |               |-nm-applet
       |               |-polkit-gnome-au
       |               |-python
       |               |-ssh-agent
       |               |-update-notifier
       |               `-{gnome-session}
       `-{gdm-session-wo}

  Under my wife accounts, the output of 'pstree' only lists:

  -session-wor─┬─gnome-session─┬─gnome-panel
             │               ├─metacity
             │               ├─nautilus
             │               ├─ssh-agent
             │               └─{gnome-session}
             └─{gdm-session-wo}
