before running it, recorded my moves, and then took the "top" data after
running "kpackage"'s initialization, Mozilla, help, and shell all at once. They looked approximately similar. However, this time, before I ran "top",
I ran "ps -A" to see the processes. At first, even long after I had quit Mozilla
and kpackage, I had 6 mozilla processes running and 1 kpackage process
running (as well as its bash process). After doing ps -A a few more times, I lost
the 6 mozilla processes. After running a few *more* times (long pauses between),
I lost the kpackage process, and it stopped spinning the hard disk.
So it could just be a super-long shutdown process for some of these apps. Even
so, when I logged out, it never seemed to stop running last time, so I wonder if
logging out locks the process in place, in run mode or something.
Anyhow, if this problem shows up again, I'll be sure to ps -A to see what is running,
and if it doesn't stop, then I'll run top. Then I'll get back to you ( to the debian-kde
list server, really, in case you are not at a point where you can spend the time. )
- Thanks.

Okay, during *normal* usage (say, mozilla only) I get
