Pidgin autostarting in XFCE, how do I stop it?

Installed Arch last night as a welcome break from the increasing bloat of Ubuntu, and everything's tickety-boo except for one minor annoyance: Pidgin starts every time I log in to XFCE. I'm sure there's an obvious way to stop it, I just can't find it!

Thanks in advance.

This is probably because of xfce saving from previous session. My thought is to save session when you have pidgin closed. That way it will start up without pidgin in theory.

Also check ~/.config/autostart - that's where you'd put auto-starting apps.
