MATLABConnector startup on Linux

Last two versios of MATLABConnector for Linux automatically put the app to the startup list, but in Preferereces settings is not possible to turn-off startup during user login option. Why?

Moreover, when I turn-off MATLAB Drive Connector at system Startup Application (see attached snapshot), It always turn-on back at the list when I start MATLABConnector manually by CLI command:

$ MATLABConector start

after manual turn-off by command:

$ MATLABConector stop

The "Startup Aplication" list still shows that MATLAB Drive Connector + Mathworks Service Host will started during to the next user login.

This behavior is not acceptable and moreover it is not mentioned in official documentation.

I do not want to start MATLABConnector automatically after user login!!!

You can try following steps to stop automatic start-up of MATLAB Drive Connector:

• Open the startup applications preferences from the system menu or using the command ‘gnome-session-properties’ in the terminal.
• Look for ‘MATLAB Drive Connector’ in the list and uncheck it.
• Also, you can try to do it from the preferences settings from within the MATLAB Drive Connector.
• Open the Drive Connector and then select Preferences and under the general tab unselect the option ‘Start MATLAB Drive Connector at system startup’.

@Divyanshu Did you read my question? All your recommendation does not work at all, or they are irrelevant to Linux MATLAB connector!
