Gnome sessions don't work with new Logout

Bug Description

I altered my session slightly, so I could load xcompmgr before gnome-panel, but then foolishly clicked "Automatically Save Changes to Session".

Now I have to manually close all apps before a logoff, else they are all restarted at logon. This is as expected. However, I tried to disable this functionality but when you deselect the "Automatically..." checkbox, the session is at that moment saved - meaning that whatever apps are open at that time & the session control panel itself are always restarted at login...

Basically, without manually editing the Current Session tab, it appears to be impossible to get back to a clean session.

There appears to be no way to save the session from the new Logout dialog.

Also, the only the Add button works in that dialog. The Edit and Remove buttons are never enabled (see http://img87.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotsessions6tk.png).

Thanks for your bug. That's a known issue you can run gnome-session-save from the run app dialog as a workaround by example

Thanks for your reply, Sebastien.

How about the remove/edit buttons thing?

I notice also that selecting a session on that screen is broken as well, it always goes back to 'Default Session' no matter what session you select from the list (I was hoping to have seperate ones for xcompmgr and compiz).

Hope this is an appropriate place to ask this (this whole dialog need reworking in my extremely humble opinion).

Andy :)
