Bug Description

I went to System->Preferences->Startup Applications and I added a command to be launched at startup, the command being "unclutter -idle 1 -root".
It worked fine: it was always launched at startup.
Then, after a few reboots, I went to Startup Applications again and I removed the application, by selecting it and clicking "Remove".

Now it is not listed there any more, but it is still run at startup every time I reboot!!!!!!

The worst thing is that I don't know how to stop it from being run at startup, since it is not even listed among startup applications.

Sorry I think I was mistaken. It looks like unclutter installed on its own a startup script that launches it at startup (so my adding it in startup applications was useless in the first place).

Sorry for the noise
