I use Ubuntu One together with the indicator for the panel on two differnt laptops (installed the same way). On one laptop Ubuntu One connection is started automatically after login where on the other it isn't.

How can I get the behaviour of Ubuntu One not being connected automatically after login?

I solved the problem myself. I had to create an ubuntuone-launch.desktop file in /home/username/.config/autostart with the following text in it.

[Desktop Entry]

Name=Ubuntu One

Exec=/bin/sh -c '[ -d "$HOME/Ubuntu One" ] && ubuntuone-launch'

Type=Application

X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=30

Icon=ubuntuone

Comment=

X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=ubuntuone-client

Hidden=true

X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false

Name[de]=ubuntuone-launch.desktop

That prevents UbuntuOne from automatically establishing a connection after login. (Checked by removing the .desktop file)
