In F13/Gnome 2, they can be launched via System->Preferences->Startup applications. In F15/Gnome 3, they can be only launched from command line.
Is there a reason why a .desktop file isn't in Gnome3 for easy access to this? (Is there a reason why 'Activities' won't launch gnome-session-properties?) Is this loss of G.U.I application start-ability a bug or intentional in Gnome3?

Reproduced in Fedora 16. If the tool works (and it seems to work), it should be integrated into the GNOME Control Center and it should be searchable in Activities. If the tool doesn't work, it should be removed completely. Btw, it is part of GNOME Control Center in Ubuntu 11.10, so either they have overridden the upstream default, or Fedora has overridden the upstream default.
i use Fedora 17 beta bug still exist. LinuxConfig - startup programs management tool can be started only with command line - gnome-session-properties No button in menu exist. It very sad!
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
Ubuntu had this same bug reported. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1018031 It handled the issue by re-enabling /usr/share/applications/gnome-session-properties.desktop's NoDisplay=false.
This bug corresponds to upstream. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678179

gnome-session-properties development has been ended, the replacement is gnome-tweak-tool according to gnome devs. Closing.
