John,
you need to disable "network" from Prefereces-->Desktop
Session Settings.
F.
That sort of works.
As Julie Lavergne noted today in a post with Subject: 'Back on 13.10
release,' lxsession-edit (Preferences: Desktop Session Settings) has
been removed from 13.10. It has been replaced by
lxsession-default-apps (Preferences: Default Applications for
LXSession). I think you and I had some previous exchange on this topic.
But the layout and functionality of lxsession-default-apps seem
confusing. You might think that its Autostart tab was intended to
replace lxsession-edit's functionality, but as far as I can tell so
far, it's major function is to disable/enable whole classes of
autostarting apps. There seems to be a provision for manually adding
and controlling single apps, but there is no pre-populated list as
there was with lxsession-edit.
In any case, on the Running Applications tab, I edited Network GUI:
nm-applet and set that to NO. This results in only one instance of
nm-applet running for that user. The edit must be repeated for all
users. [There is undoubtedly a global configuration that would fix
that, but it does not seem to be achievable through the GUI, and I
have not found documentation for accomplishing that directly in a
configuration file.]
But I still don't know where the other instance of nm-applet is
launching from. /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart is empty, as is
~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart. And there is no *.desktop
entry for nm-applet in the ~/.config/autostart folder.
After some further research, I found that the still-enabled instance of
nm-applet is auto-starting from /etc/xdg/autostart/Network.desktop.
But I also found that /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart and
~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart are both empty files. So in
lxsession-default-apps, when I set changed Network GUI from nm-applet to
'no', what was it writing that setting to?
