Fedora 13: Python starts on login?
I noticed that python is loading when I login. I'm currently running Fedora 13 with only 512mb of RAM, so I'm looking for things to stop to save memory. I've been using killall to stop python, and I've noticed no ill effects. Why is it running on login?
Also I can't figure out how to stop it from running on log in. My "autostart" gui only shows "Desktop File" and "Script File", but I can't find these when I search the HDD. I even tried looking at services that were starting (yea yea, highly unlikely to be there, I know), and seeing if there was anything in the script folder. I also looked in home/.config/autostart
So, why does python run on startup? and how do I stop it from running on start up?
[EDIT]
Running KDE spin. In case that's needed

python is just an interpreted scripting language, you don't just run python (well you can but i won't get into it), lots of applets for window managers use python, ruby, etc
i would use ps -eaf | grep python to see what is running through python

That'll be why I wasn't seeing any ill effects, this system doesn't access any printers.[username] 1561 1464 0 11:09 ? 00:00:01 python /usr/bin/printer-applet
[username] 1892 1875 0 11:13 pts/1 00:00:00 grep python
I'm assuming the printer-applet is something that wouldn't auto start if a printer was connected?

I think you mean would, but either way, it should be because of KDE that it starts, regardless of you having a printer or not
I'm not familiar with KDE, so I can't really help you on disabling stuff
