Hi Miroslav,

At first glance I would say to check all the system autostart folders. It is likely that the KDE4 developers hacked part of the KDE4 startup process by dumping various core services into the autostart system.

If you do find out what the culprit is, please let me know so I can fix this bug.

Thanks!

Hello, I have Jaunty with both KDE3 and KDE4 installed, as I want to allow users to choose either. But when any user starts a kde3 session (even a new user; same result with xinit+xterm+PATH=/opt/kde3/bin:$PATH startkde, so it's not a kdm4 thing for sure), kde4 services like kdeinit4, kded4, nepomukserver and krunner start too.

These are superfluously doubling functionality (krunner vs. katapult) and eating memory doing nothing. Users that choose kde3 never use kde4 apps here.

So, is there a way to avoid running these services?

Thanks, Miroslav Los
