This bug is also present on my machine. It is similar to those reported in: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/413385 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/269292

I found a hint in the

gnome-control-center-2.28.1/debian/patches/95_desktop-effects-integration.patch
Line: 424
+ session_file = g_build_filename (g_get_home_dir (),
+ ".gnome2",
+ "session",
+ NULL);

According to someone in the #ubuntu channel this file (~/.gnome2/session) is obsolete. It is also definitely not present on my system as are several other files mentioned in "man gnome-session"
Instead I find the session files in ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session

Im not sure if that is related to the problem but it might be worth to have a look. In fact I am wondering anyway why the file it deleted anyway since there seems to be no further use in the program anyway nor it is rewritten later.
