Not sure if this applies to your distro, but on fedora 7 and up there is a file: /etc/xdg/autostart/puplet.desktop You can chmod it so regular users can't read it: chmod 600 puplet.desktop or move it elsewhere or just delete it. Another approach, for only changing *some* users to not run puplet is to change: ~/.config/autostart/puplet.desktop so it contains the following: X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false There is probably some gui way to do this, although I don't know how, and it would be less likely to work the same on CentOs 5.2 Mike _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
