Thanks. Obviously my question was not precise enough :-)
I actually know how to kill it. I however did not find a place to have it
killed automatically when logging out of CDE. When starting CDE,
$HOME/dtprofile is read, but I couldn't find a script that is executed
on logout to put the kill sequence in (just like the .logout that complements
the .login for [t]csh)...
Best regards,
Lutz
