also running Rawhide, I find that ~/.gnome2 directory
has 

session and the one that has the problem does not

[olivares at localhost ~]$ ls .gnome2
accels   gedit-metadata.xml    nautilus-scripts  share
evince   gnome-volume-control  panel2.d          yelp
gedit-2  keyrings              session          
yelp.d
[olivares at localhost ~]$ cd .gnome2
[olivares at localhost .gnome2]$ cat session
