The gnome-session 2.13.92 changes the location in which it looks for autostart files from /etc/xdg/autostart (which is the xdg-spec-mandated location) to /usr/share/autostart (which is what kde used for a long time for something similar).
While we generally agree that datadir is a better location for these files than sysconfdir, simply changing this api this late in the game, and moving away from the xdg spec, is a bad idea. We are a few days away from shipping FC5, and all our packages have been carefully patched to put their autostart files where gnome-session used to look for them, in /etc/xdg/autostart. IMO, changing this interface this late in the release cycle is not acceptable. If anything, Rodrigo could have made it so that /usr/share/autostart is consulted in addition to /etc/xdg/autostart. But he did not do that, although it was proposed in bug 330397.
