No, first, that link is for buster, this machine is stretch yet but I have put that line an my .bashrc, in roots .bashrc, and in amanda's .bashrc and . sourced them all without any detectable effect. I just did incorporate the kmail background task killer so maybe that source of an occasional error is squashed.
