I recently hit the "Remember Currently Running Applications" button and unchecked "Automatically remember ..." and now I seem to be stuck with a lot of stuff on startup. None of it is listed under "Startup Programs" (and what is -- Pidgin, Skype -- launches twice). Is there a way to edit or review the "Currently Running Applications" that are remembered?

All the applications "remembered" are stored in the following folder:
~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session
Use the file-manager to navigate to this folder - remember to use "View - Show Hidden files" to see the ".config" folder.
Use the instructions here if you want to remove all "remembered" applications.

For bonus kicks, what I did exactly was
vim ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session/*Then I emptied (with:%d) all the .desktop files I didn't want to keep, leaving slab (askubuntu.com/questions/37642/…) and a couple of others in place. Thenfind ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session/ -size 0 -exec rm {} \;et voila. NOTE: don't run random commands unless you understand them, okay? Especially not ones with "rm" in them.– AmandaApr 28, 2011 at 23:37
