[CentOS] How can I disable at-spi-bus-launcher

2017-10-11 Thread Frank Cox
I have a laptop that hangs up on shutdown saying that at-spi-bus-launcher is still running. Since I have no use for at-spi-bus-launcher anyway, I would like to get rid of it, but attempting to remove the at-spi2-core rpm wants to remove 99% of my desktop as well. The only way that I can see to
