The extra instances of the kss file seem to be started when clicking on the OK button in the Display Settings dialog box. (kcmdisplay) Clicking the APPLY button doesn't appear to start new instances of the screen saver. After changing the settings for the SLIP screen saver 2 times (clicking OK between changes and restarting kcmdisplay) and then switching to the SWARM screen saver, the output of a 'ps auxww | grep kss' command shows : [sfagg@calvin ~]$ ps auxww | grep kss sfagg 1315 0.1 0.7 5620 220 1 R N 10:54 0:08 /opt/kde/bin/kslip.kss -delay 5 -install -corners iiii -nice 12 sfagg 1387 0.0 0.7 5620 224 1 S 11:14 0:01 /opt/kde/bin/kslip.kss -delay 5 -install -corners iiii -nice 0 sfagg 1408 0.0 0.6 5620 208 1 S N 11:16 0:01 /opt/kde/bin/kslip.kss -delay 5 -install -corners iiii -nice 3 sfagg 1555 8.4 11.3 5636 3512 1 S N 12:19 0:01 /opt/kde/bin/kswarm.kss -delay 5 -install -corners iiii -nice 3 On my PC (P150) i'm using: KDE 1.1.2 (RPMs) RedHat 5.1 with kernel = 2.2.13 XFree86 S3 X server This problem appears to have been around for some time.
