Changes

When The GNOME desktop is installed along with the CentOS operating system a small selection of sessions are also installed. When the login screen appears, clicking on the Sessions option at the bottom of the screen lists these sessions. Typically the first time user will log in using the session named GNOME. It is possible, however, to create new sessions that are configured to start specific programs automatically. New sessions are created from the Sessions configuration tool which is launched via the ''System -> Preferences -> More Preferences -> Sessions'' menu option. Once loaded, the dialog will display with the ''Session Options'' panel preselected:

To add a new program to the list, simply click on the ''Add'' button and use the Browse button in the resulting ''Add Startup Command'' window to navigate to the program to be started each time a user logs into the session. To disable autostart for the currently selected program simply click the Disable button. The label on button will then change to Enable and may then be used to re-enable the selected program if required.
