[TomasHnyk <tomashnyk@xxxxxxxxx>]

I changed the description based on our discussion. Is this ubuntu
specific or should it be filed upstream?

** Description changed:

  How to reproduce:
  1. Run gnome-session-properties (or alternatively via session indicator run "Startup applications..."
  2. Add Tomboy (via the add button)
  
  What happens: 
  Well, Tomboy is added and runs the next logon. But the icon is not visible nor is it possible to add it manually. 
  
  What should happen:
  Well, I would like to see an icon next to Tomboy, as I see for example for System load applet
  
  Proposed solution (based on discussion with Sebastian Bacher in the comments to this bug):
- Use 
- 
- See attached screenshot for how it looks like (applications with icons
- were added in 11.04 and earlier I think)
+ 1. Use gtk software selector (gui used by nautilus to set default programs to open certain file types) for adding programs to startup applications.
+ 2. Hint the user somehow that she can drag and drop icons from unity 
+ 3: It should still be possible to add custom commnands (i.e. this_awesome_script_that_does_not_have_a_.desktop_dile), i think it is the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/894831
+ See attached screenshot for how it looks like (applications with icons were added in 11.04 and earlier I think)
