KDE Always Tries to Autostart Chromium.
KDE is always trying to autostart Chromium when I login. If I remove it from the Autostart programs it re-instates itself after a couple of reboots. I have KDE configured to start with an empty session and have added Chromium to the list of "Applications to be excluded from sessions". It's particularly annoying because not only doesn't Chromium start up, but while its trying to start it stops me doing anything with the desktop, or anything else, for a couple of minutes

Re: KDE Always Tries to Autostart Chromium.
I'm not sure if KDE pays any attention to the .desktop files, but you can check this too: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Au … _Autostart
Maybe there's some other place you should check https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KD … p_disabled where the autostart settings might be stored.

I'm pretty sure that KDE uses it's own set of autostart files, but it's been a while since I last used KDE in that amount of detail.
Claire is fine.
Problems? I have dysgraphia, so clear and concise please.

Re: KDE Always Tries to Autostart Chromium.
Chromium adds that autostart in KDE if you have checked "Continue running background apps when Chromium is closed" in it's settings. Just uncheck that.

Re: KDE Always Tries to Autostart Chromium.
What I do to avoid applications starting again on new session is:
System Settings -> Startup snd Shutdown -> Session Management
The under 'On Login', select 'start with an empty session' and click Apply.

Re: KDE Always Tries to Autostart Chromium.
In KDE you can do this:
cd ~/.kde4/Autostart
ls -lNow you will see all applications that auto-start with KDE.
Whatever is there that you no longer want you do:
rm application_name... and that will solve your problem.
R.
p.s notice it is ~/.kde4/Autostart (with capital A)
