But if you did want to remove it from all users, but a few, your method may be a better approach (remove it as a default for everyone, and start it as a specific feature for just some users). You could try modifying all of the ~/.config/autostart/puplet.desktop files to include: X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false Or simply remove those user puplet.desktop files. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
