It's... not totally wrong, but it's not great. The 2.24 text was:

    List of components that are required as part of the session. (Each
    element names a key under
    "/desktop/gnome/session/required-components".) The Session
    Preferences will not normally allow users to remove a required
    component from the session, and the session manager will
    automatically add the required components back to the session if
    they do get removed.

Besides the "-" -> "_" fix, I'd just change the end to "will
automatically add the required components back to the session at login
time if they do get removed". (ie, add "at login time")
