On Hardy:
$ /usr/bin/gnome-session-properties --version
GNOME gnome-session-properties 2.22.1.1

Doesn't work.

On Intrepid:
$ /usr/bin/gnome-session-properties --version
/usr/bin/gnome-session-properties 2.24.1

Just tested on a new install and it *does* work. Cool!

So it must be something that they've added between the versions. I'll
track it down later on launchpad and see if it can be updated for Hardy,
or at least backported.
