It's a bit Greekish to me in that it doesn't seem to say much more than the
KDE System Guard monitor does. I don't know. Does anyone else see anything
unusual? I was running the KDE System Guard Monitor, KMail new email (this
one), and one terminal window (KConsole).

I don't see anything weird going on but someone more experienced might be able
to see something I haven't. Here are the processes running under root
(snapshot from top).

Hope it all does not appear like chicken scratches on your email client and I
certainly don't expect anyone to take time to decipher it but if anyone sees
something off the top that might be unusual I would surely appreciate hearing
it.
Thanks.
Carlos
