Re: How to stop launching programs from startup

[Thomas DEBESSE <dev illwieckz net>]

Yes there is desktop files in /etc/xdg/autostart, and there is desktop files in /usr/share/applications that contains X-GNOME-Autostart-* keys. I don't know if desktop files in /usr/share/applications are used if they contains autostart keys even if these files are not placed in /etc/xdg/autostart. I don't know. On my system, some desktop files in /etc/xdg/autostart are softlinks to /usr/share/applications, but not all are.

By the way, it means autostart candidates can be listed this way:

ls -1 /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop

and perhaps also:

grep -R 'X-GNOME-Autostart-' /usr/share/applications/ | cut -f1 -d: | sort -u

To disable one of them, just copy it in ~/.config/autostart/ and add the line:

X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false

Maybe the applications are in /etc/xdg/autostart?
Haven't tested it myself, but you could try this:

But I think it would NOT a good idea to delete them ^^
