In my XFCE setup, under Settings -> Session and Startup -> Application Autostart I disabled the following "Programs":
User folders update (Update common folders names to match current locale) User folders update User folders update I forget why there are _two_ "User folders update". They came from different packages (like one shared one and one specific Desktop Environments (DE). For XFCE, toggling those resulted in new files under .config/autostart: Oh, look, it is actually three! Maybe one has a different value in the title? $ find .config/autostart | grep user .config/autostart/xdg-user-dirs.desktop .config/autostart/xdg-user-dirs-kde.desktop .config/autostart/user-dirs-update-gtk.desktop $ cat .config/autostart/xdg-user-dirs.desktop [Desktop Entry] Hidden=true I think, in theory, these are all supposed to be reused by the various DEs, those are likely to survive any experiments you do when exploring different ones. Unless, of course, like apparently the KDE and GTK ones above, anything you install adds their own. So much for reuse? mrc
