FWIW, I had famd go 100% on me in KDE twelve hours ago. Haven't seen that kind of famd problem since a couple of years ago. No idea what caused it, and I hadn't been swapping sessions with another user. I killed famd and KDE has been working just fine without famd for twelve hours. A lot of KDE depends on libfam0, libfam0 recommends fam, fam contains famd. --Mike Bird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
