I don't use things like Ubuntu One. How do I disable it from Startup Applications? I believe it is hidden by default along with some other apps.

You have to edit /etc/xdg/autostart/
and either:
- remove the
NoDisplay=true
lines; - or make those same lines comments by adding
#
in front of them; - or replace
true
byfalse
in those same lines.
The alternate solution can be easily done in three steps:
- Summon the terminal with Ctrl + Alt + T.
Type the two following commands:
cd /etc/xdg/autostart/ sudo sed --in-place 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' *.desktop
After changing anything you want, you can go back to the previous state by typing this into the terminal:
sudo sed --in-place 's/NoDisplay=false/NoDisplay=true/g' *.desktop
This has been tested in 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04.
