Description

With having a main startup application list, also have a tab or a section or some way in the sessions settings where you can add an application to run only once on your next restart, instead of on every restart.

A curious request IMHO. Do you have anything specific in mind?

not really. i just thought of this because i had to do a restart after an update and i wanted to go play guitar after i restarted, but i didnt want to wait till the system came back up to bring pidgin up

i guess more of a laziness issue? haha

Doesn't seem like something anyone would use...

This can already be done by going to System/Preferences/Sessions. You can add programs to the startup section. However, you have to know the commands to start them up. This might not be to everyone's taste or skill and thus probably a GUI should be implemented that allows the user to choose the program from a list of programs in the Applications menu. This idea should either be edited or changed.

adotei, doesn't that "Remember Currently Running Applications" button at the Session Preferences window do exactly that?
