runs there, even if you login into XFCE.
Just to clarify, it does not start if the system boots into XFCE. It's seen
with XFCE only if TDE was running before XFCE. It starts with TDE, whether
booted directly to TDE, or booted to XFCE and then switched to TDE. So it's
something that TDE is starting.
The only thing where TDE could be directly related to
the kernel is if you
have SAK turned on. In this case, a special 'event' device for capturing
the keyboard is created there.
I did have SAK enabled. I disabled it, rebooted, and the problem remains.
