A very good idea.  I will keep this suggestion in my personal install
notes for the next time I do a virgin install.  

That deals with various services but doesn't help with the 30 or so
programs that are started in gnome-session-properties (the startup
session manager).  I am sure that about half of them are of no use to
me.  I have turned about half of them off.  I will now have to wait to
see which ones I need from startup.  None of the 'man' notes suggest
that this or that program should be running from the start.
