Disable applications autostart ?

[twinky]

Hi,

I've just installed a fresh version of Kubuntu 8.10, then upgraded to KDE 4.2 beta.

How to prevent applications from starting automatically at logon ? For example, I do not use kdenetworkmanager, how to disable it ? What I've checked :

- Session is configured to start empty
- ~/kde/Autostart is empty
- ~/.config/autostart is empty
- kdenetoworkmanager is not in /usr/share/autostart
- it is not listed in System Settings -> Autostart
- I've disabled NetworkManager (with sysv-rc-conf)

So, from where does it starts ?

Thanks

kdenetworkmanager ? Do you mean knetworkmanager ?

Package: knetworkmanager

This is a dummy package to depend on network-manager-kde for upgrades, it can be safely removed. .

knetworkmanager depends: network-manager-kde

Package: network-manager-kde

KDE systray applet for controlling NetworkManager

systray applet for controlling network connections managed by NetworkManager. It is mainly written for KDE but also works for other desktop environments like GNOME or Xfce. .

It will install: /etc/xdg/autostart/knetworkmanager-autostart.desktop

Thanks ! I removed some stuffs from here that I don't need.

The only thing is that I have to remove files from here every time packages are updated...

If you know you are not going to use the package, remove it. If removed, it won't update.
