Editing Sessions Startup programs from a different user account

Hey guys..
I seem to have locked myself out of one of my accounts by adding beryl to the start up.. now it tries to load beryl and logs out immediately. Starting a fail-safe GNOME session isn't very fail safe.. it fails just as quickly as without. Surely there's got to be a small text file somewhere that I can sudo gedit to take out beryl-manager.

Thanks,

Check for the following file in your home directory.

Code:

.config/autostart/beryl-manager.desktop

If it exists, try moving it out of the autostart directory.

You can try editing the ".beryl-managerrc" in the home directory of the user. Change:

active_wm=0

to:

active_wm=2
