I guess the whole thing works like this (not 100% sure): - - if /usr/bin/nepomukserver exist, when is started. - - if /usr/bin/nepomukserver is missing, then a process (a thread?) is created by /usr/bin/kdeinit4 (you can change the process name once the program has been started by modifying argv[0] or you can use prctl(PR_SET_NAME, ...) for a thread - sorry but I'm not a kde developer so this is my best guess). How can you test this: 1. Make sure /usr/bin/nepomukserver exist. 2. Logout, login. 3. In a terminal run "pstree -acgp" Notice the nepomukserver's PIDs. 4. ls -l /proc/<PID>/exe (replace <PID> with the actual PID. It should be a link to /usr/bin/nepomukserver 5. Rename /usr/bin/nepomukserver. Repeat step 2 to 4. In step 4 the link should point now to /usr/bin/kdeinit4.
