It matters whether the (instance of the) application using it has still opened it. Naturally, the problem was solved when he rebooted but I wonder how I could achieve the effect without rebooting. Close Kaffeine. That might be difficult if Kaffeine somehow stays resident or has some Quick start facility (like kdeinit and stuff). Check ps output and use kill. At least, closing the user's session is enough (if that plugin isn't run by the desktop manager, then I'd suggest to kill X in order to close the DM's session as well). -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Next time the process starts perform dynamic linking, which accesses the filesystem and picks up the new library. KDE applications started under the standard KDE environment have dynamic linking done for them by kdeinit though, so shared libraries stay loaded (but possibly swapped out) persist for as long as the kdeinit process lives. So, you'll have to restart the kdeinit process, this usually involves logging out and logging back in, although kdm might (I don't think so, but might) require you to restart X. Alternatively, you might be able to get around this by prelinking, or at least telling KDE that things are prelinked (even if they aren't) I believe kdeinit drops this behavior if KDE_IS_PRELINKED=1 or KDE_IS_PRELINKED=true is in the environment when kdeinit starts. You can NOT simply kill the kdeinit process unless you want KDE applications started by it to start mysteriously dying. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.
