Prevent evolution starting automatically ?
 
I am running Red Hat 8 and use KDE. Evolution loads each time I log on. It takes forever and I don't even use it. How do I stop this. I thought it would be a matter of preference, but can't seem to work it out.

Also, if I leave the computer running and go away, when I come back it has reverted to original log in - I thought I had a screen saver enabled, and would be able to pick up in programmes loaded?

Thanks in advance
Rose

i think it's under desktop settings.
save settings on exit. exit evolution,
exit kde.
your login manager kdm? probably has
the settings for auto logout. change them as root.

Thanks - I thought tried something like that .... but maybe did not make sure Evoltion/Ximian was not loaded before I svaed sessions.

I did try this in GUI but not command line. Being the benb that I am I might need a specific command for this.

Thanks

Use the KDE session manager to specify using a blank sessions to start KDE, then log out, log in. This time pick 'load a manually saved session', and save the current blank session. Should work, otherwise it's not KDE loading the app.
Check /home/user/.kde/Autostart/
