Ok,

        I get that part, but something is "kidnapping" the message generated by 
pushing
the 'help' button in any gnome app and calling khelpcenter -- which is the
strange part. Looking at the running processes, the only kde related apps I see 
are:

18339 ?        Ss     0:00 kdeinit4: kdeinit4 Running...
18340 ?        S      0:00  \_ kdeinit4: klauncher [kdeinit] --fd=8
18354 ?        S      0:00  \_ kdeinit4: kio_file [kdeinit] file
local:/tmp/ksocket-david/klauncherT18340.slave-socket
local:/tmp/ksocket-david/showfotoH18325.slave-socket
18342 ?        S      0:01 kdeinit4: kded4 [kdeinit]

full list from 'ps axf' here:

I have no idea why the .../showfotoH18325.slave-socket is shown as something
that is active. I never use showfoto, so why the open socket?

        Regardless of what individual kde4 apps is called, it should never take 
over or
hijack commands from regular gnome apps -- that's a bug. In order to track it
down a bit further, what should I look for? I have kde4 4.4.3-157.3 installed.
Any ideas?
