I never did find a good solution for this.  The one I use is to rm 
/usr/bin/autorun and just kill the whole thing before it starts.  This is not 
a "good" solution because it will get undone any time that package updates.  
But it is quick and easy.

I'm not sure quite what you are seeing, but I bet it has something to do with 
klipper.  Thats the little clipboard icon with a K on it in the kicker panel, 
usually at the bottom of your screen.  Right-click klipper and deselect 
"enable actions" and maybe they symtoms will go away.
