stopping CNR autostart

Since I upgraded my CNR client last week, it had been autostarting at bootup. Wanting to put an end to this unselected annoyance, I looked for a way to stop it in the CNR client, and found no joy: the client does not provide a way to stop the CNR autostart -- nice work, coders! Does the word "choice" mean anything to you monkeys?! I looked in the ~/.config/autostart folder, but I found nothing to do with CNR there. I did a search in Konq/home on "autostart" and found (among many others) a file named "cnr-client-autostart.desktop" in the ~/usr/share/autostart folder. The same file was also in the ~/usr/share/gnome/autostart folder. I renamed them both to "cnr-client-autostart.desktop.bak" (as a backup file) and did a cold reboot. Voila! (pardon my French) -- no more CNR client at bootup.

This is very annoying. On my 7.04 Kubuntu system I was getting two instances of CNR on every start-up. I found both of these files listed above plus I found /usr/bin/cnr_autostart. I renamed all of these and that got rid of one of the CNRs but I am still getting one instance on start-up. Anybody found how to stop this? I want adept to run on start-up and handle updates and only want CNR to run when I want to use it. How in the heck can I get this thing to stop running?

Have you looked in /usr/share/autostart for the cnr-client-autostart.desktop file...

Yes, and I renamed it with .bak. CNR is still starting up on boot.
