Attaching strace to a process with process ID <PID>:

	strace -p <PID>

For <PID of kded>, do a "ps -ef | grep kded", as kded is started with kdeinit.

Use "ps -ef". "-e" is to show all processes, "-f" to show command line options 
for processes started with kdeinit.

No idea.
Is the portmapper running on your machine (needed for NFS and FAM)?
