Here more information regarding this bug from the devel list:

I was expecting to be able to run gnome-session-properties from the
desktop preferences menu (ie., main menu on panel->Preferences). 
However, this does not seem to be possible and, in fact, it seems that
this command has to be started from a command shell (ie, I couldn't
find it in any menu).

This is for FC2T2 with gnome-panel-2.6.0-5 and gnome-session-2.6.0-1.

The problem according to Mark is ``that we're not installing the
.desktop file using desktop-file-install and adding the X-Red-Hat-Bast
category ..''

Seth, I don't want to make you cry so do you want this in the default
Preferences->More Preferences menu by default or ... ?

FYI, it looks like Bug #123606 is a duplicate of this one.

There should be a fix now for this in updates
(http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/2/i386/gnome-session-2.6.0-4.i386.rpm).
 If you continue to have problems would you mind reopening the bug?
