Settings won't save

Hey guys I'm a pretty big nub at this stuff, only been on Ubuntu for about six months and have recently installed Fedora.

On the plus side I have a Nvidia graphics card, one of those Optimus hybrid deals and thanks to Bumblebee I've been able to disable it on startup each time which is pretty promising so far.

My problem is with Gnome 3, as it will not save settings. I'll literally open startup applications, uncheck the boxes I don't want, close, and when I open again it's reset. I can delete them and it'll be back again. The same thing happens with Main Menu. There's no saved customizability outside of the command line, which defeats the purpose of having the apps with UI's.

Is there something I'm missing here?

Got this from Ubuntu forums, it was a permissions issue:

sudo chmod o+wrx -R /home/[user]/.config/autostart

Saves it now.
