There is no easy way to run/rerun startup programs on demand  
Written by zooounds the 18 Mar 09 at 20:10. New
I have lots of startup programs in the "Session" manager. If any of the fails during startup (because some reason) there is no easy way to rerun them later. You have to open the item and copy the command line and paste it into a shell or likewise.

Solution #1: Make a button "Run now" so you can run selected item in session manager

This way you can rerun it on demand. Small detail but great use I think.

Solution #2: Make the system do it automatically

Not even a button. The system should detect autostart failures and -depending on the error code- try again.
