30 Unrelated in a way but still, I notice that when I go to single user
31 mode that a lot of KDE processes are still running. Sometimes there is
32 a half dozen or so, sometimes a little more or less. I always run "ps
33 aux | less" and page my way through them and use kill to get rid of
34 them. I have always been curious as to why programs don't kell their
35 own processes and clean up after themselves better? This may not just
36 gnome since I use KDE.
