Assuming your ps is similar to mine (Gentoo/Linux here, using the procps package from procps.sourceforge.net): $ ps -C kglobalaccel ... with an output similar to: PID TTY TIME CMD 2195 ? 00:00:00 kglobalaccel > Nothing that I found on Google and RTFM-ing did help. > Any idea what else I could check to debug the issue? Note that in addition to kglobalaccel, there's also khotkeys, which at least as a Gentoo package, consists of libraries and config, no executable. I don't know if freebsd uses split or monolithic kde packages but here on Gentoo, it's split packages, and I have both kglobalaccel and khotkeys installed as part of larger meta-packages. Directly, kglobalaccel is part of the kdebase-runtime meta-package while khotkeys is part of kdebase- workspace, which I have installed as package sets. kdebase-runtime/ workspace in turn are part of the upstream-kde kdebase monolithic tarball. If you believe it will help, I can list the dependencies and files of both khotkeys and kglobalaccel, as Gentoo tracks them. It could be that you have the binaries/libs installed, but part of either your normal user or the default system config is screwed up. Talking about which... have you tried creating a fresh user, without an existing kde config (or from the command line without kde running, simply move the test user's kde config, usually ~/.kde or the like, out of the way, so a new, blank one is created for testing, when you start kde)? Perhaps the system config is fine and it's a screwed user config, in which case a new user with only the system config should work fine. You can then focus on only the user config or only the system, depending on the results of that. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
