Awhile back there was a question about apps that mysteriously started with
KDE. I don't know how some programs got there, but in
.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc
there were a few lines like
restartCommand4=gmc,-session,blah blah blah
Commenting them out solved the problem. I did a ps axf to draw the
"ASCII Forest" of all executing jobs and found then programs in question,
then changed into my ~/.kde directory and did a grep -r -s prog_name *
to find which files were talking about those programs.
That ksmserverrc is a bit spooky, and I haven't seen it documented
anywhere.
At least they were text files instead of some Byzantine Registry!
