The problem you describe sounds like the panel. I've been using the
gnome-session for better than a month and this has never occured.
However, the panel has forgotten it's settings. It seems, everytime I
upgrade gnome stuff, some gnome-apps forget their former settings. I
don't know why. The only problem I've noticed with gnome-session is
that sometimes it will open applications you closed just before logging
out. Seems it doesn't necessarily do a final check, but rather does
them at timed intervals. But, I've made it a point to always use the
panel to log out since I discovered this problem, and everything seems
to be okay. One thing that certainly doesn't work is to have
gnome-session manage a kde desktop. Boy, talk about the mess that
creates!
