Title:
  startup applications overwrites entries

Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When using the startup applications GUI, scripts with the same file name but different paths will overwrite each other. For instance, if I added an entry as:
  Name: program1
  Command: /home/user/scripts/program1/run
  Comment: program 1

  I can exit the startup applications window and everything saves fine.

  But if I later reopen and add an entry:
  Name: program2
  Command: /home/user/scripts/program2/run
  Comment: program 2

  both records will display on the main menu, but after closing and
  reopening the window, only program2 will be listed. The record for
  program2 overwrites the record for program1 when the startup
  applications window closes, but it looks like it works fine before you
  close it. If I named my script for program2, 'run2', as in:
  '/home/user/scripts/program2/run2', both records will be kept.
