Well this should be interesting since the whole forking thing is by design. :) KDE forks a process which then dlopens the .so file for KDE commands so that address space and junk is shared. IE, the primary way things are called from other kde processes is: 1) from your KDE desktop you say to run "kmail" 2) it looks for kmail.so, if it finds it, it forks, and dlopens kmail.so 3) if not, it looks for kmail in the path, and executes it I guess I can "fix" this by removing the kdeinit .so files, but it would be nice if there was another way around it. - -- Benjamin Reed a.k.a.
