Thanks for your quick reply. The session manager always tries to restore a previously saved session (~/.cache/sessions/).

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1175601] Re: Two Chromium background instances and a browser window open on boot without my permission
That's interesting: clearing the session cache seems to have improved things. I wonder if there is some odd interaction between the session cache and Chromium? After clearing the cache, the Chromium icon in the bar at top, representing the background process, reappears whenever I reboot, but no windows are opened. I even opened Chromium to two news sites, rebooted, and later opened Chromium to Gmail and Facebook, rebooted, and in neither case did Chromium windows open after I logged in, just the Chromium icon in the top bar. If I uncheck Chromium from the Application Autostart tab, it's rechecked once Chromium restarts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1175601 Title: Two Chromium background instances and a browser window open on boot without my permission Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “xfce4-session” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I log into my user session (type in my password on the login prompt after boot), Chromium auto-starts, and two instances of its background process automatically open: per the attached image, two Chromium icons appear in the top bar.
