Is this autospawning behavior configurable, i.e. can I turn it off? I can see where it could very nice for some people, but I really don't need programs automatically starting up when I get emails or IMs. It's super confusing and quite invasive. I use my Ubuntu machine at work and I don't need the latest tweets/dents/Ubuntu email popping up and starting programs while I"m showing my boss something. -- empathy started automatically on incoming message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444170 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
