Thanks all for suggetions.
I see in fstab that my floppy and cd:s are set up with supermount, which 
works. But no process, that looks like a supermounb deamon to me, is
running. Someone suggested FAM, but its not running. 
Artsd was running, but not the bad guy. Stopping it does no difference.

I did suspect some process (in Kde) was logging something, but
'find / -type f -mmin 01' did not show any changed files, when run 
a coiuple of times. 
My filesystems are reiserfs, and not mounted with noatime option

I'm getting curious now. Am I the only one with this behaviour?
By the way, this is ML 9.1 with Texstar's Kde 3.1.4

Anyone with other things I can try? This isn't all that important,
just VERY irritating
