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 It has been replaced by lxsession-default-apps (Preferences: Default Applications for LXSession).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. </body> </html>
