Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-session
Here's what I do:
I go into System > Preferences > Startup Applications and disable
(uncheck) the applications I don't want to start. I restart the system,
and yet those programs still started. I look at Startup Applications
again, but they're still unchecked. So, I go into ~/.config/autostart
and the .desktop links for all those applications are *still* in the
directory, even though I unchecked them in Startup Applications. So, I
manually delete all the links, and restart. The programs *still* start.
Then I go back into Startup Applications, and everything is magically
checked again. Frustrating!
