It does _not_ work for me either, on a clean account or my old account. Whether using gnome-session-save --gui or setting gnome to save session automatically in desktop/preferences/sessions, the session does not get saved and my gkrellm's do not start. Sometimes one and only one will start, but even that's not reliable (I run 3, to monitor 3 servers here). It seems that the session code in 2.14 will not start more than one instance of a program. If I use a shell script to start all 3, they all start fine, on the occasions where gnome bothers to run the shell script. Another issue entirely.. the 'ask on logout' option in desktop/preferences/sessions does nothing. -Tim
