Kubuntu addtions to KDE Desktop ENviroment [SOLVED]

[ZeuZ]

Hi, I´ve that some pals are complaining about too many replacements for the default KDE desktop tools like Klaptop or Kpowersave for the python written tool that seems to be not that resource conserving, this by no means is a critic, since everyone has different tastes, but this guys want them out, and checking around I couldn´t find them myself...

I ran about reading the full kdm script, checking ~/.kde/Autostart, checking Katapult in between other searches and found not much with that...
Anyone could handle me the info on how to remove those apps being launched at startup?
Before someone tells me: No, that ones are not in the initial scripts (a.k.a /etc/init.d ) Allready searched there just in case :P

Have you looked under KDE Control Center (kcontrol) --> KDE Components --> Service Manager? It lists all the KDE startup services and lets you turn on/off individual services.

Checked there too, actually, that was my first glance...
But, as this are not services but applications providing user land tools to control for example the processor scaling and such, I wonder theres no doubt they wouldn´t be there...
Things like KDE-GUIDANCE (that, I would like to remove but dunno if there could be any harm) are started as services and are visible through sysv-rc-conf or just browsing /etc/init.d but not this tools...

There are for systemwide (to all users):

KDE 3.5
/usr/share/autostart/

KDE 4.X
/usr/lib/kde4/share/autostart/


Link > autostarting apps in kde4


There is also option to install leaner/faster (?) 'nbuntu with the KDE desktop:

kde core

the K Desktop Environment core modules
KDE (the K Desktop Environment) is a powerful Open Source graphical
desktop environment for Unix workstations. It combines ease of use,
contemporary functionality, and outstanding graphical design with the
technological superiority of the Unix operating system.

This metapackage includes the core official modules released with KDE. This
includes just the basic desktop (browser, file manager, text editor, control
center, panel, etc.) and important libraries and data, in addition to the
aRts soundserver.
