When I start my computer using Gnome (well, Gnome + Xmonad), this search window appears that prompts me to search my computer. I'd really like to disable that. Any thoughts?

After doing some research I've found this is the famous Gnome Do (Having some trouble taking a screenshot of it at startup). How do I prevent this from opening at startup? – southpointingchariot Sep 5 '12 at 14:27

If you are running GNOME Do, then there are two options.

Start-up Applications

You can open start-up applications by running gnome-session-properties.

Start-up Applications

From here you can disable Gnome-Do.

GNOME Do's Preferences

The other option is to disable running Gnome-Do on start-up from within GNOME Do's preferences.

Gnome-Do Preferences

Make sure that the check box that says "Start GNOME Do at login." is unchecked.
