Hi, I don't use the KDE desktop, but I use KDE applications from time to time. (I use an fvwm-based desktop.) When I start the first one, background daemons get started; I assume for application communication and such. They get shot down with the last KDE application terminating. Start of these additional programs increases application startup time, or don't they? I would like to start them in advance, when I start my X session. Is there a list of daemons that should/could be started? Or do I need to analyse the KDE startup scheme myself? TIA for any answer, Joachim PS: I've got a similar question for GNOME, but I think this is better handled in a separate thread. ;-) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod@acm.org Roedermark, Germany -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
