Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-session

Every time I log gnome-session logs (to .xsesssion-errors) the following:

gnome-session[10673]: WARNING: Could not launch application '1046979452ec8a37a61
2562355964588200000015520028.desktop': Unable to start application: Failed to ex
ecute child process "indicator-applet-session" (No such file or directory)

Here is the contents of the file ./.config/gnome-session/saved-session/1046979452ec8a37a612562355964588200000015520028.desktop :

Icon=system-run
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
X-GNOME-Autostart-startup-id=1046979452ec8a37a612562355964588200000015520028

This must be due to some bug because I never manually created any such thing in System->Preferences->Startup Apps, and have "Automatically save running applications when logging out".

Logging out and logging in again does not fix the problem. I do have auto-login-at-boot enabled for this account.

Thank you for your bug report. That's not a gnome-session bug though. The applet cannot really be spawned normally by gnome-session, so indicator-session should be setting it's RestartStyleHint to RestartNever, so that it doesn't get saved in the session

I'm quite new in Ubuntu. This fix could help me to remove the ghost item from my dock. What's the workflow and can we have this relase available through the official repos soon, please? Thanks!
