"you can delete that from the list of startup applications, although I don't 
think that will solve your problem"
OK, I went to Session and Startup > Application Autostart, unchecked Chromium, 
and rebooted. It still starts. In fact, when I go back to Session and Startup, 
Chromium is once again checked. Weirdly, if I uncheck it, close Session and 
Startup, then go back to it, it remains unchecked. However, when I reboot, it 
gets rechecked.

"Is it going to a particular site?"
No, just going to a default startup default page that shows my "Most visited" 
sites.

"You might also want to try deleting everything in ~/.cache/sessions/"
Closed Chromium completely by right-clicking on the top bar icon and selecting 
Exit. Deleted everything from ~/.cache/sessions/. Started Chromium again. 
Closed it. ~/.cache/sessions/ remains empty. Went back to Session and Startup 
and unchecked Chromium again. Rebooted. THIS TIME IT'S DIFFERENT! Chromium did 
NOT come back up after reboot, and the checkbox stayed unchecked.

AHA, but I don't think it's related to deleting everything in
~/.cache/sessions/: I closed Session and Startup, loaded Chromium again,
and went back to Session and Startup. The Chromium box is re-checked. So
looks like something in the Chromium background process is overriding
whatever I put here. I do think that is a separate bug. Again, the
problem here is that a Chromium _window_ is opening on startup.
