I've found that gnome-session doesn't properly handle turning off automatic session saving. Here's what I done:

1) Turn on auto_save_session via gconf-editor.
2) Leave some program open - say, Gnome Terminal.
3) Reboot. Upon login, Gnome Terminal pops up, which is what is supposed to happen.
4) Turn off auto_save_session via gconf-editor. Close all apps.
5) Reboot. Upon login, gconf-editor opens, which was closed before rebooting, as well as Nautilus, which wasn't launched at all.

To fix this manually, I have to delete ~/.gnome2/session file after turning off automatic session saving.
