Brilliant find! Removing tangerine from the gnome 'Startup Applications'
list sovled the issue indeed.

Note that for one user, the 'tangerine' entry had already been disabled
(unchecked) _but_ I had to remove an entry listed as 'Unknown Program'
(or 'Unknown Application' ... don't remember sorry) as well. Inspecting
the details of that entry (by clicking the Edit button) showed that it
was linked to the tangerine executable as well!

Thanks, Jay, this helps a lot. I reckon not directly for tangerine
users, which I'm not, but at least this longstanding (!!!) annoyance has
been pinpointed and it will be easy to fix, I feel, tahnks again,
