gconfd - which, I'm hazarding a guess is launched as a by product of running GNOME-panel but being a daemon, is not killed when GNOME-panel is. You can check this by grep-ing for gconfd in ps before and after running the GNOME panel. My 2c, your core applications (as listed in the earlier email) all appear to be GNOME applications or GNOME compliant, have you considered using GNOME? Another possibility, although I know almost nothing of KDE, is that KDE may use a session manager and you could convince it to launch gconfd for you every time you login. This may even be what some non-Debian distros do to fake "integration" of GNOME and KDE apps. Hope that helps. -- question = ( to ) ? be : ! be; -- Wm. Shakespeare
