The session management restores an application, although it is blacklisted in"system settings - session manager - Applications to be excluded from sessions".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open system settings-session manager.
Blacklist an application (e.g. konsole).
Start this application, put int the background, logout from the current session and login again.

Actual Results:  
The application is restored by the session management.

Expected Results:  
'Blacklistes' applications should not be restored.

Confirmed in 4.6.4.

Applications are restored on start-up even though they are on the "Applications to be excluded from sessions" list.
Comment 2 km 2011-10-08 10:42:46 UTC 
I confirm this in 4.7.2
Comment 3 bill p. (aka google01103) 2012-04-16 13:12:46 UTC 
I confirm this in 4.8.2 openSUSE 12.1
Comment 4 bill p. (aka google01103) 2012-04-17 12:24:47 UTC 
as this has been confirmed (4 posts enough?) could it be removed from systemsettings if its not going to be fixed and returned to systemsettings if fixed

thanks,

@ Jekyll Wu - an interim solution would be to state in the instructions that full path executable names need to be provided
