[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.

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