There's something strange going on with my Xubuntu setup (13.10 at the moment, but I remember having this issue in 13.04 as well, before upgrading). Each time I log in, the system reopens the applications that I didn't close before shutting down the computer last time. This is strange since in the session and startup settings I don't have the Automatically save session on logout
setting checked. What can I do to fix this issue ?
