[CentOS] CentOS6 - Stop NUX Skype auto-start with gnome desktop
How does one configure Skype/Gnome such that one can have Skype
installed but not auto-start when the Gnome desktop opens?
I have looked in the 'System/Preferences/Startup Applications' menu
but Skype is not listed there. There are no options in the
Application itself that allow this setting either.
If there no other way then I will remove the application package and
re-install when I need it. But surely there is a way to control this
behaviour and the problem is that I simply cannot find it.
Thanks.

I usually disable some application, E.g. tracker* from here.
