Does kget have to do with torrents?

yes, I thought you said that you killed "kget". You should.

I did -- in several different ways. before asking on the list. It keeps resurrecting itself. As I said before, I've tried: click "OK" on both popups (it disappears both from the taskbar and ps close from the taskbar (same) kill the process by its ID umber from ps (same) start from the menu while the popups are pending (won't start) start from the menu in the brief interval between killing and resurrection (still won't start) No matter what I do, it comes back. I just killed it again a few minutes ago, and: john@embelex:~> ps -e | grep kget 3763 ? 00:00:00 kget john@embelex:~> kill 3763 john@embelex:~> ps -e | grep kget john@embelex:~> jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Find the kget binary and rename it, some one will complain >:-) There is also a trick using AA that can be used to forbid an arbitrary program from running (and it is logged).
