Can't stop Gaim starting at KDE login


When I log in to Fedora Core 5 using KDE 3.5 Gaim starts 3 instances. It doesn't happen if I log in as another user.

I have tried deleting occurrences of Gaim in *rc files in the users home folder but no joy.

What next?

You have somehow saved your session, and somehow got three instances of Gaim started, and the session got saved again. This results in your user launching those instances of Gaim every time you log in to KDE (you can test to make sure it is this case by launching some other desktop environment or a window manager and seeing if it does not launch them -- this way you can make sure it's KDE). Fix: close those Gaim instances (to be exact, you should close all apps you don't want to be launched when you log in), locate KDE's control center (or-what-ever) and find the setting for Session Saving. If it lets you, save the session immediately; otherwise make sure it's checked to save session on logout, close the control center and log out (to save a clean session), then log back in, locate the same control setting and check it not to save session on logout. This way you'll always have a clean session. The other option is to always have session saved and always remember to close all apps when exiting.
