I could not reproduce is as default behaviour. I did in Gutsy: kdesu konsole
and no knemo instance shows up. What are you doing to trigger the second knemo instance? FWIW: knemo is a implemented via a kded service. Every KDE application needs a kded running. So when you run an kde app in the login environment of another user, a second kded is started for the user and therefore a second knemo is run. With this in mind I can reproduce you problem with some handish work: kdesu konsole then as root in this window HOME=/root cp ~<myuser>/.Xauthority ~/ kwrite & ps -ef | grep kded now a another kded is listed and therefore another knemo. Why this happens by default is not clear. Please give a concrete example that triggers the second knemo. Can you run: kdesu konsole o is another knemo running? o is there a new kded process (ps -ef | grep kded) o what the output of printenv $HOME printenv $KDEHOME when you run in in the kdesu konsole window Achim -- two knemo icons while running anything with kdesu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159810 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
