Where can I find the startup applications in 12.10

Question

I'm using 12.10 and am looking for where I can configure the startup applications. I've read that I can find it in System > Preferences > Startup Applications, but that seems to be in a previous version of Ubuntu. I don't have a System, the closest thing I can find is System Settings, but it has no Preferences.

I also do not see it here: Startup Applications missing from System Settings screen. Where can I find it?

I'm trying to set Pidgin to load on startup, I also do not know it's install path.

Open Dash ( by pressing Super key), and search for Startup Applications.
An alternative way is to press alt+f2 and type gnome-session-properties.
