Bug#683814: No obvious how to start session-properties / not easily discoverable

Package: gnome-session-bin
Version: 3.4.2.1-1
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/gnome-session-properties

gnome-control-center no longer ships a panel for managing the (XDG)
autostart programs.
While we do have gnome-session-properties for that, no menu entry exists
so you need to know about that tool and start it from the command line.
This is not easily discoverable and userfriendly.

We should consider adding a .desktop file for gnome-session-properties
so the tool can be found via the builtin search (for keywords like
start, autostart or session)
