On my Stretch LXDE machine it appears under menu "Prefernces" > "Desktop Session Settings" > "Automatically Started Applications". If I disable it, then a file appears under ~/.config/autostart called at-spi-dbus-bus.desktop which contains... [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=AT-SPI D-Bus Bus Exec=/usr/lib/at-spi2-core/at-spi-bus-launcher --launch-immediately NoDisplay=true X-GNOME-AutoRestart=true X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase=Initialization NotShowIn=LXDE; That last line I guess overrides default startup behaviour. Using "find / -name at-spi-dbus-bus.desktop" I see the default desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart/at-spi-dbus-bus.desktop, which has the same contents without that last NotShowIn=LXDE; line. -- Tixy
