Re: emacs starting automatically

[Ulrich Deiters]

check /etc/passwd: The entry for your username should name a shell
at its end (e.g., /bin/bash), not /usr/bin/emacs.

check your startup file, $HOME/.bashrc if you are using bash, or
.login, or whatever your preferred shell uses.

check the settings of your session manager. Did you (perhaps
accidentally) store a previous session? I do not know which system
you are using; on openSUSE/KDE the program launcher has a menu entry
for "energy management/session" where you can select whether you
resume a previous session after login or start a fresh one. Other
session managers probably have a similar option.

Regards,

Ulrich
