Every time I start my Ubuntu computer and login, a GEdit window opens immediately; this window has nothing in it. I checked my startup applications and can't find the culprit.

I am not using the "automatically remember running application when logging out" option.

Here is my list of startup apps that are checked to run:

  • Certificate and Key Storage
  • Check for new hardware drivers
  • desktopnova-daemon
  • Disk Notifications
  • GNOME Login Sound
  • GSettings Data Conversion
  • Indicator for DesktopNova
  • Indicator-LockKeys
  • Lookit Screenshot Uploader
  • Network Manager
  • NVIDIA X Server Settings
  • Power Manager
  • Print Queue Applet
  • PulseAudio Sound System
  • PulseAudio Soudn System KDE Routing Policy
  • Remote Desktop
  • Secret Storage Service
  • Sound Icon
  • SSH Key Agent
  • Ubuntu One
  • Update Notifier
  • User folders update
  • Visual Assistance

I'm still very new to Linux and Ubuntu, so I'm sure there might be another place I can check that I'm not aware of.

Thank you to whoever can help me figure this out; and learn from it :)

Disabling the Automatically remember running application when logging out option in Startup Applications doesn't cause gnome-session to forget the "remembered" applications. To do this, delete all the files in ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session:

rm ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session/*
