How do I prevent gwibber-service from starting automatically?

Question

I'm searching for a way to prevent gwibber-service from starting, but I can find none under Oneiric.

For a start, I confirmed that "Start service at login" was still unchecked in Gwibber preferences (it is), but gwibber-service still starts automatically at each login. So, I cross-checked under "Startup Applications..." (there is no entry for Gwibber there), I searched to see if there's an upstart job for gwibber-service (there is none), and I looked for a gwibber-service script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d (there is none).

So, I'm out of ideas. Do you know how to prevent gwibber-service from starting, or do you know other places where to look?

For further context, I had the "Start service at login" option already unckecked before upgrading to Oneiric. It used to work under Natty, but it no longer does.

Answer 1

You can disable it by disabling it in Startup Applications. Before going to Startup Applications make sure you made visible hidden applications with this:

sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop

Answer 2

Maybe disabling using gconftool helps?

gconftool-2 --set /apps/gwibber/preferences/autostart --type bool false
