What happened was that 'abiword' started, and attempted to open
'Desktop/SpaceMonger.exe', which makes 'abiword' hang, or at least pause
longer than I was willing to wait -- hence, 'xkill': result Zombie
processes, argh.

I'm not really sure what to look for. Attached is an archive of that
directory -- the file is small, not much in there.

My Debian system (and X session) is too busy today... unfortunately my
current window manager/GUI desktop environment, xfce4, doesn't (so far
as I know) allow me to start another session as another user. Under
KDE it would be easy. Unless you know of a way around that, I'll take
a raincheck, and tell you how it goes when this system is less busy...
