Title:
  Sessions preferences help outdated

Status in The GNOME 2 Session Manager:
  Invalid
Status in “gnome2-user-docs” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-session

  The help pages shown when pressing the help button for the gnome-
  session-settings application (System>Preferences>Sessions) seem to be
  out of date with regards to the current version of the application
  (2.14.1-0ubuntu5 at the time of writing). For example:

  1) Configuring Startup Applications section. The part which says:

  "If you specify more than one startup application, use the Priority
  spin box to specify the startup order of the each application. The
  startup order is the order in which you want the startup applications
  to start."

  does not apply anymore, since they seemed to drop the mentioned
  Priority spin box that used to live on the "Startup Programs" tab,
  which now seems to reside under the "Current Session" tab as the
  "Order" widget.

  2) The four columns on the "Current Session" tab (i.e. "Order",
  "State", "Style", "Program") are not explained in the help file
  (Setting Session Properties section). Although you can easily figure
  out what "Order", "Style" and "Program" are since the corresponding
  widgets controlling their behaviour are explained, it is still unclear
  to me what "State" means. IMHO there should be at least an entry
  explaining what "State" means.
