Disabling Gaim from startup on KDE/FC5


Hello,

This seems simple enough but has me going in circles. I was using Gaim unitil I found kopete and
decided to use that instead. Everything works groovy but Gaim still starts automatically
when I log into my KDE desktop.

I have tried everything from editing gaim config files, editing xinitrc, xsessions, Xclients, looked in rc.local, kde/autostart
all to no avail. I can't seem to find where gaim is getting called on login so I can disable
the bloody thing.

Anyone know where to disable gaim from starting up short of uninstalling?

Thanks All.

Just an idea - right after logging in, close Gaim, then log out, but when it asks if you want to save your current set up, check the box (say "YES").

Tried that .. No go man.... there's got to be a setting somewhere that starts this application on login.

Whooha... any ideas ?

Not being a KDE user - none off the top of my head. Could always hit up the guys at Gaim, see if they have heard anything, or have any thoughts.
