GnomeDo window launches automatically at startup

This is because an entry is set in the session manager. To stop it starting at login, open the "Startup Applications" gui from the System->Preference menu. Scroll down and you should see an entry for gnome-do. Make sure it is un-ticked. If this report is a bug, I would say that it is because the gnome-do application has its own option to start at login which is clearly not honored in the default install.

Just enable quiet mode in the Do preferences.
