Please describe the problem.

Due to the very unstable kernel on my laptop atm I need to reboot quite frequently... and this issue with annex assistant immediately starting synchronizing (although I did disable all synchronizations in webapp, so it would be another issue I guess), I wanted just to disable autostart of git-annex altogether. I have removed $HOME/.config/autostart/git-annex.desktop but to my surprise upon gnome crashing/relogin I had the same ssh key passphrase dialog and that file reappeared.

What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

closing as it's not been shown how to reproduce this and it seems impossible as described. --Joey
