The file /etc/xdg/autostart/caribou-autostart.desktop misses the OnlyShowIn entry. Because of this it will autostart on every freedesktop compilant DE/WM as mentioned here http://standards.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-latest.html#id2452149 . But other DEs might have their own accessibility suite (like KDE). I think the default behaviour should be to autostart just in gnome (or may be some other gtk related DEs which misses an accessibility suit) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge app-accessibility/caribou 2. login in with a DE != gnome Actual Results: caribou is started (a dialog should appear asking if you want to enable gnome accessibility) Expected Results: caribou should not autostart I'll attach a trivial patch to autostart only in gnome by default (gnome actually checks if accessibility is enabled and prevents caribou to be started if the user preference is to not use accessibility, dunno why this doesn't happen when caribou is autostarted in kde)
