Public bug reported: In Kubuntu 15.10, when abiword is installed due to installing Lubuntu- desktop, every log-in with a Plasma session causes an instance of Abiword to start.
I've been puzzling over this for several weeks since the Parent PID of the abiword process is 1 - init. Abiword doesn't auto-start in the Lubuntu/LXDE sessions. I finally tracked it down today to one of the kde-telepathy modules, due to an abiword DBus service registration for org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.AbiCollab $ journalctl | grep abiword Sep 14 02:01:56 hephaestion.lan.iam.tj org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.AbiCollab[6283]: (abiword:6458): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property GtkImageMenuItem:use-stock is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore.
