The question is, if I am not doing anything with those files, then why is kio accessing them?
Why are you repeating your question when you've already been answered? It would be more beneficial for you and us to send patches, after consulting with the ports mailing list, that better adapt KDE to OpenBSD. After all, you've been using KDE on OpenBSD, according to you, "for about 3-4 years," which is now closing on 4-5. Reading through your posts in those last 4 years tells me that you aren't paying attention to the FAQs. My first posts to this list got me skewered. It appears that you have gone through this as well on more than just the OpenBSD mailing lists, but you aren't learning from it. From the responses to my original posts, I realized that the problem was my own ignorance. After spending some time reading the FAQs, and Michael Lucas's Absolute OpenBSD, I realized how ignorant I had been in those early posts. I expect to be rudely skewered again if I post something stupid. Some of us have to learn the hard way.
