Make sure nothing is being run automatically at login by the window manager.

I had a problem with qtCreator which would startup and then draw an
immovable window over everthing, including once automatically at start
up. (I fixed it by killing it from a different console, then setting
some start up option not to display the start up banner).

I also had Kubuntu x86 VM upgrade itself to the Plasma desktop, and hide
everything behind the backdrop, never did get to the bottom of that one.
