Hello Gurus,

for testpurposes, I recently installed Gnome-Meeting. After installation, I started it, and after trying some things, I exited the program.
Now, every time after login, Gnome-Meeting gets started automatically, which really bothers me.At no time, I have configured anything that the program should start automatically.

I run SuSE 9.1 and KDE 3.

Where can I look why this program gets started, and how do I stop this?

Thank's a lot for any help.


Regards,

Fred
 
Not sure about Linux, but possibly look for something in /etc/init.d, /etc/rc2.d or /etc/rc3.d. Alternatively, doe Linux use /etc/inittab?
 
If it's called from KDE it is probably session specific.
There some bugs with snapshots of a specific user session
with KDE and you also might want to look for any session
specific sockets that didn't get properly cleaned up.

I seriously doubt that gnome meeting is being called via
an rc script.
1.Check the .kde/Autostart directory for entries.
2.Do some detective work:
find $userdirectory -type s
fuser -u -v $userdirectory
