"Using session management" means "running gnome-session as the last
thing in .xinitrc/.xsession".

Try this:

* close the help browser
* run "save-session" from the command line
* look in ~/.gnome/session and see if the help browser is mentioned
  It shouldn't be.  If it is, then something is broken.

One thing that could be broken is that you could be logging out in the
wrong way.  If you log out in a way that doesn't let the session
manager save the session, then next time you log in it will use the
default session, which includes the help browser.  How do you log out?
