last shows gone - no logout, which makes sense to me. It was my son using CywinX from a laptop to run the gimp. I suspected that he didn't logout properly when he finished, which is why I used 'who' in the first place and noticed the discrepancies.

He still shows up in 'who' this morning, I haven't rebooted yet. I'll try that after I've exhausted other points of investigation.
Quoting trimmed. You are using linux, not windoz. A reboot is not necessary. Determine the process id's of the two instances you wish killed and kill them. You may have to process as root if you do not have permissions for "dirtkid". -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery
