No familiarity with slack at all but..

You didn't say which desktop you run. If it's KDE the startup may be in the "Autostart" folder which is in the hidden directory ".kde" in your home folder

None of them.

If it started from there you would find a script file appropiately named.
Now you have to find out how slack starts up apps, it could be in the init files or maybe bash_profile.
I don't know if slack uses system V
If it does have a look in /etc/init.d for a script
Next try is a slack newsgroup.

Slack uses System V
