Hi Dan, Begin forwarded message:

I have no idea *how* update-notifier does it, but removing update-notifier.desktop from /etc/xdg/autostart solves the problem. Now, I prefer not to make system-wide changes. Is there a way (freedesktop, lxde, openbox or otherwise) to override autostart entries, or dbus session services, or to ban gnome-screensaver (short of apt-get remove)? This brings a larger question -- can we rely on gnome-screensaver never being started in a modern Linux distro? This is starting to look like a losing battle. I prefer x* to gnome-* any day, given the less-than-professional practices that surface so often in the Gnome team, but I was *very* tempted to replace xscreensaver with gnome-screensaver in /etc/xdg/lxsession/autostart. I am on Ubuntu Lucid (0.5.0-3ubuntu2, update-notifier 0.99.3), so maybe this is all outdated. Even so I would like to file a bug in launchpad, since this is an LTS release. Note that on Ubuntu, non-admin users don't see the problem since for them update-notifier doesn't start. As this is Lubuntu related I have forwarded it to the Lubuntu list <lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net> Please file a bug on Launchpad, as 10.04 is an LTS version and has another couple of years life left. -- Steve Cook (Yorvyk) http://lubuntu.net _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
