Every time I open a new terminal window, the dropbox daemon starts. There is nothing in my .bashrc to start this, nor is Start Dropbox at system startup enabled. Why is this happening?

The line later that shows the daemon being killed

grep does not show anything in ~/.bashrc... how did dropbox decide to start each terminal?
