GNOME 2.14 Session Startup Programs

Anyone know how to run more than one copy of a program at session startup? I have multiple entries of "gnome-terminal" with varying command-line arguments under "[Foot] -> Desktop -> Preferences -> Sessions -> Startup Programs", but only one terminal actually gets executed when I log into GNOME.

This used to be possible in GNOME 2.12, but for some reason, my session startup programs got lost in the transition to 2.14.

Thanks!

Could it be related to this http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=345115

Try editing the /usr/share/gnome/autostart file and removing the --disable-sm option from the gnome-volume-manager line.

HTH,
Andrew

I tried your suggestion, and as I suspected, it didn't work. I doubt this has anything to do with session management. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Any other ideas?

I have a similar problem. I haven't manually added anything to Startup Programs but I run two instances of gkrellm and save my session on logout. When I log back in again only one of them is started again, and which one it is seems random from login to login.
