Mountain Lion, Login Items do not register in control panel

Under Lion, I had added Dropbox and the Activity Monitor to the Login Items section of the Users and Groups control panel.  After upgrading to Mountain Lion, these were removed, and I cannot add them back via the + button, via dragging and dropping or via the dock-->options-->Open at Login.


 


The problem is on my Macbook Air 11inch late 2010.  It IS NOT a problem on my mid 2011 Mac Mini running Mountain Lion.


 


Anyone having similar problems or thoughts on how to correct this?


 


Thanks

    UPDATE:


     


    Remedies attempted:


     


    1. Restart


    2. Disabling Gatekeeper


    3. Creating a new standard user and trying to add the apps to the login items window


    4. Same as #3 but with a new administrator user

    I have the same problem. Has anybody found a solution? I'm on a 3.06 GHz iMac with OS X 10.8.2
