This happens because apps can set their restart style using xsmp (most
likely with GnomeClient api). So, even if you remove the key from
gnome-panel .desktop file, gnome-panel is still doing
gnome_client_set_restart_style. Yes, this is a bit confusing (well,
XSMP per se is quite confusing).

Which key do you want to remove? If it's auto_save_session, you shouldn't.
