Is any workaround for this?

Hi ,

Workaround would be to copy a file from /etc/xdg/autostart/, then edit it and replace "NoDisplay=true" to "NoDisplay=false".

Hope this helps.

---------------
gtk+3.0 (3.8.4-0ubuntu3) saucy; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/git_padding_value.patch: don't use a negative padding,
    that fixes gnome-session-properties' dialog segfault on empty lists,
    thanks Ryan Lortie (lp: #1193913)
