[ubuntu-in] Reducing number of start up apps

[Ramnarayan.K]

Hi

My start up after login is really slow,

seems like tonnes of apps are all starting up. Including beagle, which does
it standard indexing.

Is there a way that  i can find and stop unnecessary apps from starting at
login time

I tried to check system->preferrences -> start up app preferences

and made some changes there but am afraid to make more changes in case
something happens to the system and it breaks (normally i would have risked
it but my work is "mission critical and cannot afford to have my machine go
down just yet even for a short while)

Second - some apps - seem to make themselves permanently resident in the
system tray even though i don't want them there - like rythm box, ktimer
etc. Some of them can be configured to not appear on the system tray but
others don't have any option.

So any ideas on what i can do to
1. Stop such apps at start up
2. Stop apps from coming on the system tray without my specifying
3. Optimize login speed

would appreciate advise, tips and ideas

thanks
ram
