[SOLVED] Openbox and (magically) autostarting program

Since some weeks the program mpd-notification (AUR) is starting by starting openbox,
although I have commented out in the file 'autostart' in .config/openbox which started it.

Where should I look for other places in which openbox looks for starting programms?
(I use lxdm and then openbox).

thx in advance.

Exactly. Thx a lot. I see now the information is in the wiki... However I find it a little bit aggressive that
some programs put an entry in /etc/xdg/autostart...

 Write to the author/developer/maintainer about that. Using '/etc/xdg/autostart/mpd-notification.desktop.disabled' instead should work, meaning it should be disabled. Or better yet use the 'Hidden=true' key inside the file, which means you can disable mpd-notification.desktop from your ~/.config/autostart directory. Copy the global file and add the above hidden key, it should not load. I always rename them, since it is easily visible what is enabled and what not, however to disable another service this would be necessary.

Edit: Next time run 'pacman -Ql package' to determine what it installs.
