I had cause to install the Skype for Linux package from the NUX repo. I discover that this package is configured to automatically start Skype whenever one logs on to the Gnome desktop. This behaviour I do not wish. However, there seems to be no option in Skype to turn that 'feature' off. Is there any way to disable this in Gnome or elsewhere?

I will be removing Skype shortly when the present need for it passes but I do not wish this thing automatically starting in the meantime.

Hi,

You can't do this?

"Go to Tools -> Options -> General settings. Uncheck the option "Start Skype when I start Windows". Save and Quit Skype. Next time you reboot Windows, Skype will not start with Windows"

This is a Linux instal not a MS Windows. There are no options listed in the Linux version other than Advanced. Advanced has the choices of:

Skype: 'Enable Skype WiFi' (off)

and

Connection: Use port (0) for incoming connections Drop Down Proxy Settings (Automatic Proxy Detection) Host (blank) Port (blank) User (blank) Password (blank)

And that is it. No additional tabs not additional choices. I will not have this software on any of our business computers

Here in CentOS6: system menu / preferences/ startup applications. Remove the entry that causes Skype to start.

Regards,
