First all thanks much for your reply. Yes indeed both settings are in the Sessions menu, but on different tabs, that's why it's perhaps a bit confusing. Either way I've listed the directory you suggested:
$ ls ~/.config/autostart beagled.desktop Apparently there's only that file. Now I will try again adding (first screenshot) two new startup programs, Gaim and Firestarter (second screenshot). Ok, so I've closed the dialog then listed the autostart folder again: $ ls ~/.config/autostart beagled.desktop Again just that file. Nothing changed. Finally if I open the Sessions menu again, the entries I've just created aren't there.
