Re: startup program (browser)
I still have not found a way to prevent Opera from
automatically opening when I boot up.
"automatically save changes to session" is already
unchecked. Generally I close Opera and other
applications before logging off. That does not seem
to make any difference. The window manager I use is
Icewm. This problem does not happen with other
applications, such as Mozilla.
