I did that. Unfortunately, I cannot stop from the KDE Services Configuration dialog: favicons Also, no matter I have disabled _all_ the Startup Services in KDE, the following are automatically started: networkstatus desktopnotifier ktimezoned So these are the 4 services whose modules I can only unload using qdbus. But if I unload them and kill kded4, not only I can't find ant process whose name suggests that any of them would be running, but also the CPU usage drops to 2-3%. Restarting kded4 automatically loads networkstatus... and the CPU goes mad! Is networkstatus the culprit? R-C aka beranger
