[newbie] Programs that won't quit
Greetings all I have a small problem with KDE on my MDK 9.1 using laptop. I went and started the xeyes program found under the Amusement tab, nice little diversion, but I can't remove them. No where in any of the docs have I found any mention of stopping a KDE recognized program. Any idea how to stop these damn eyes?

TIA IIRC you could rightclick on the eyes and then opt for stop and otherwise there's always xkill to the rescue;) xkill can be done from the commandline in a xterminal or from the k,applications,monitoring menu.

Or hit ctrl+esc to start system monitor (graphical TOP) and then stop the program there. Many ways to do it. =) Cheers Jason Philip Cronje wrote: On Sunday, 29 February 2004 22:34, Doug wrote: Greetings all I have a small problem with KDE on my MDK 9.1 using laptop.

TIA IIRC xeyes is a panel applet - that is it is on the extreme right of the taskbar. If so, look at that group of icons. To the left of the group is a narrow band with an up-arrow.
