Public bug reported:
When I log out of my desktop I get some files in ~/.config/gnome-session
/saved-session/, pressumably the saving of my session so that it can be
restored on next login.
But on next login I get an error from gnome-session:
env: unrecognized option '--sm-client-id'
Try 'env --help' for more information.
...
gnome-session[9609]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-panel.desktop' failed to
register before timeout
gnome-session[9609]: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry....
and the session aborts. Investigation leads to the following:
$ cat ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session/gnome-panel.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Panel
Comment=Launch other applications and provide various utilities to manage
windows, show the time, etc.
Icon=gnome-panel
Exec=env --sm-client-id 1037b9c00525f898c4143792614760363700000101790000

Clearly the "env --sm-client-id" is causing this problem. But why is
gnome-session saving this incorrect .desktop file for the session?
This is gnome-session-3.9.90-0ubuntu12.1 on Ubuntu Trusty.
