Hi Adam Thank you for the suggestion. However, from the list of files below reported I was unable to trace which process had launched kde. I opened kdeinit, klauncher, dcopserver, kded, kaccess, kicher, kgpg: all binary files.
From xinit . /etc/X11/session I had already been unable to trace startkde. Any suggestion from the list below as to where to look ? Thanks again for your kind help francesco [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps -eaf UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 1 0 0 14:41 ? 00:00:01 init [2] root 2 1 0 14:41 ? 00:00:00 [ksoftirqd/0] root 3 1 0 14:41 ?
