There is an xterm and a clock started from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc as well. Neither of those programs shows up on the kde screen where the xconsole is. Why not? But thanks for sticking with me.

Indeed after looking at startx (which is a script, too), it should just run xinit /usr/local/bin/startkde -- near the end, and xinit in turn should then use /usr/local/bin/startkde as the client program (and not ~/.xinitrc or even /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc). However, this *only* works if the client (startkde, in this case) is passed with a absolute or relative pathname (see that case statement in startx). So, if startkde is explicitely invoked as /usr/local/bin/startkde (instead of just startkde), it should work. Ciao, Kili

My problem is that xconsole starts running with kde and I cannot figure out where from it is started. I've tried grepping for xconsole and get no hits in my home directory. -- Tired of having to defend against Malware?

Dave Feustel wrote: Oh. Yes. It was "Where does the xconsole get invoked when I start kde using startkde?". Because startkde is a script that will invoke startx which will by default (meaning if you don't have a .xinitrc in your homedir) use /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc where xconsole is started from.

Oh. Yes. It was "Where does the xconsole get invoked when I start kde using startkde?".
