Unrelated in a way but still, I notice that when I go to single user mode that a lot of KDE processes are still running. Sometimes there is a half dozen or so, sometimes a little more or less. I always run "ps aux | less" and page my way through them and use kill to get rid of them. I have always been curious as to why programs don't kell their own processes and clean up after themselves better? This may not just gnome since I use KDE. Dale :-) :-)
