[Bug 32194] Re: no way to set order of startup programs

 

** Description changed:

  in gnome-session-properties 2.13.91-0ubuntu1, there is no way to set the
  order that startup program will launch. The list items are not drag/drop
  capable, nor is there a "move up"/"move down" button combination on the
  Startup Programs tab. When Adding/Editing a startup program, there is no
  option to specify a starting order (used to have a number fiedl
  defaulted to 50 in breezy). On top of this, the order I add startup
  programs in isn't maintained. If I add mail-notification, compiz, and
  gnome-window-decorator, the next time I log in they will be listed in
  this order instead: compiz; mail-notification; gnome-window-decorator.
  So it's not even resorting them in alphabetical order! But it does re-
  arrange them into the same order every time.
