And check your process list, it drags along an army of daemons! And one of them obviously feels the need to justify its existence with witty console chatter. GNOME is marginally better about the background process crapola, though I wish the bloody gconfd would stop spamming my syslogs (starting/quitting/starting/quitting) plz kthxbye. I don't actually run the desktop, only particular apps, so the background processes coming and going is perfectly expected and not something to make a constant big production out of, fer crying out loud. At least many gtk+ apps can be compiled without GNOME components, so they don't start half a herd of daemons for you as a free prize for launching them. I can't remember the last time I could say "just Qt please" in the configure options of a KDE app. Sick of the "desktop environments," -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>;
