Fellow Travelers, Tonight I saw the situation someone here wrote about in the last few days. A couple KDEINIT tasks spining away at 40% cpu while doing nothing usefull. I had used Konqi to go to /proc/bus/usb and I clicked and selected "Open With...", then chose KEDIT. KEDIT opened and hung w/o loading any text. This happened twice and I could not close either KEDIT win; either by clicking the 'X' or using the task bar "Close All" chioce for the KEDIT tasks. When I went to TOP I saw the 2 KDINITs spinning away at 40% cpu. After some time nothing changed so I did "kill {pid} for each and that seemed to restore normal (and calm) operation.
