Technically it is per-user.  The /etc/xdg/autostart file is the default:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-latest.html

To disable it with Gnome use gnome-session-properties (System >
Preferences > Startup Applications).  This creates a local version in
"~/.config/autostart" with "X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false".

To make this the default for existing accounts you will have to copy the
disabled version it to each user's home directory in the same relative
location (and change the file ownership).  To disable it for new user
accounts, copy the local version to /etc/skel with the same directory
structure, owned by root.

To remove it completely and keep the change from reverting during
updates, use dpkg-divert to create a diversion of the file in
/etc/xdg/autostart and delete or move it elsewhere (like the psensor doc
director in /usr/share/doc).
