Is Gnome Getting Senile: Save Session on shutdown

Is Gnome getting senile, like Windows 95, and forgetting user
settings? I've already filed one bug on a similar issue, which no-one
has deigned to pick up.

I now see that when I shut down from the Gnome menu, I get a message
announcing that Gnome has saved my session. Bully for it; I didn't ask
it to, but I see that the check box for it doing so is now magically
turned on.

Not only that, but that's all it does. I hit OK, and the dialog box
goes away. In order to actually shut down, I have to go through the
menu again.

Oh, and for additional folly, I unchecked the check box in Sessions
for saving the session on log out, and it has stayed uncheck. That's
nice. However the behavoir stays the same: I must go through the
shutdown menu twice to shut down.
