It is KDE 2.1.1 and I am not sure whether kwrited or kdeinit starts it but it is visible when one does a w on a terminal from kde (not from other window managers). It was apparently an error monitor transmission to xsession-errors and a temporary measure by one of our KDE team without telling the others because the team leader is unaware of what it is for. I think it may have been a dodge to get Mandrake Control Center to open without crashing and without using a Terminal (another legacy from the broken default theme from Nautilus/Eazel since our MCC was using GTK+ widgets). It does not appear on kde 2.2.
