Re: Disable Beagle-Startup

[Andreas Heinz <dashboard a80 net>]

Hi,

the beagle-desktop in /etc/xdg/Autostart was removed a while ago.
I don't have any clue why beagle starts.

The files in .config where removed too, so there should be no point with 
kde not respecting a gnome variable. Is there any other location beagle 
could be started from?

i'll have a look at the new edgy packages. the binaries i use are 
selfcompiled, but cause of an exception when calling beagle-info 
--daemon-version i dont know which version they are.

Hope someone has an idea where beagle could be started from,
thanks
Andreas
