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"

No, not really. Aren't the GUI's the same irrespective of the OS?
I copy-pasted the setting steps to not have Skype autostart from a Windows-centric page, and I'm assuming the GUI, and should therefore be the same.
If it'll make you feel better, please replace all instances of "Windows" above with "CentOS". ;-)

generic way to find where something is being called, if you known the name of that something:
enter as your user in terminal:
# su - youruser $ grep -irs skype . | less
now just need to parse the output, find where its being called (probably .X?? or .x?? or .gnome??), remove it.
