|
|
I know it has to do with session and startup>sessions...what I find is that this list is a magnet for certain processes...it randomly puts a few processes (that I might have run) into it's list and sets it's restart style to immediately or never or if running or always...that is too random.
One such process is xfce4-power-manager, I'm pissed with the fact I see 4 to 5 instances of it running on startup (obviously I just want 1), I have to kill them every-time I boot, and remove it from session and startup>sessions, cause that too comes there every-time on boot.
Another process is nautilus...if I start it, it always gets listed on this list.
Now I have Firefox listed, I hope it doesn't start on reboot.
So how do I stop or actually control this notoriously magnetic startup list? |

This is all user error, your saving your Session on logout. Set things how you want on a fresh start, save on logout and then relogin and disable saving on logout.
Other then that, its things in Settings-> Session & Startup-> Autostart or from stuff in /etc/xdg/autostart/ |

No.
It did not work.
The behavior is persistent. |

Can you tell me a place where this startup application's list is stored?...I'll make it read-only. |
