how to remove gaim from startup?

Hi there!

I'm using Debian unstable, and yesterday i made an update on gaim. Since then, everytime i reboot, Gaim opens automatically.
I already checked in "sessions" and it isn't there. How can i remove Gaim from opening in startup?

I'm also wondering the same thing. I've saved my session at log out every time without Gaim running, but it keeps launching every time I log in. What gives?

Same problem here too. There has to be a script for kde or gnome that says what loads at startup. Anyone know what it is?

I dont know which graphical interface you are using. But anyway, if you are using KDE, you might find a folder called autostart that may contain a executable for the programs you want to start at boot up of KDE.

Code:

/home/username/.kde/Autostart

And if this is so, that gaim is in this folder, just remove with:

Code:

rm -rf /home/username/.kde/Autostart/gaim

if not there, and still start at boot up? check this folder then:

Code:

/opt/kde3/share/autostart

And remove it from there, that is if it is there!

with the same command

Code:

 rm -rf /opt/kde3/share/autostart/gaim*

Obs! in su when you try to remove from opt

Hope this will help!
