Supplement: I forgot to mention the OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn options. Take a look at the files in .config/autostart/. "OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn Keys The OnlyShownIn entry may contain a list of strings identifying the desktop environments that MUST autostart this application, all other desktop environments MUST NOT autostart this application. The NotShownIn entry may contain a list of strings identifying the desktop environments that MUST NOT autostart this application, all other desktop environments MUST autostart this application. Only one of these keys, either OnlyShowIn or NotShowIn, may appear in a single .desktop file."- https://developer.gnome.org/autostart-spec/ Correction: On Sat, 24 Jun 2017 21:36:08 +0200, Ralf Mardorf wrote: >at least some of that crap already gets started at boot time, so if >you disable it or replace some odd hard dependencies by empty dummy >packages, you don't get those features I guess I was mistaken.
