I tried entering the command gnome-session-properties in the run dialog but it returned "command not found", so I took it to the terminal where it says it's not installed:

cmp@r45c:~$ gnome-session-properties
The program 'gnome-session-properties' is currently not installed. You can
install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install gnome-session-bin
cmp@r45c:~$ sudo apt-get install gnome-session-bin

gnome-session-bin is already the newest version.
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 9 not to upgrade.
cmp@r45c:~$ gnome-session-properties
The program 'gnome-session-properties' is currently not installed. You can 
install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install gnome-session-bin
cmp@r45c:~$

edit: Output for grep cmp /etc/passwd

cmp@r45c:~$ grep cmp /etc/passwd
pzj:x:1000:1000:Cheddie Merai,,,:/home/cmp:/bin/bash
cmp@r45c:~$ 

I have also reinstalled gnome-session via synaptic.

How do I solve this? If it matters, I'm running Ubuntu GNOME 14.04.

    That bug looks like your problem. Make sure you mark yourself as affected! @g_p Why don't you add that as an answer? Try to flesh it out a bit.
