<br>"I'd kick those who made theese stupid changes in Gnome 3. Searching how
to add an app to startup I've lost hours of my life. In gnome 2 it was a

<br>I then found by PURE CHANCE that "gnome-session-properties" includes a "startup applications" listing.<br><br>So, Why-oh-why doesn't 'startup applications' appear in the list of apps under "system tools" or in the "System settings" folder view, specifically under "System" ?<br>
Isn't a list of apps that run at startup a "system setting"?. And why hide gnome-session-properties, for heaven' s sake? <br><br>FC<br>-- <br>During times of Universal Deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act<br>
