Me, too. I know that I have one or two entries in my Xfce menu for some avahi stuff, but I really don't know what this is for. It was just there as a dependency for another package. The only thing which has changed since I'm forced to using CK and PK is that I had to edit my .xinitrc and add a ck-launch-session, and that I now have again another daemon running on my system for features I had before, too, without these unnecessary, additional, resource eating stuff, which makes in the best case my system slower. But something doesn't work anymore without this CK and PK stuff. I currently can't remember what that was. The same with all those vfs daemons, which I really don't need and don't know what they are for. Or udisks-daemon. Some time it was just running on my system. I don't know why. I didn't start it by myself. I could access all my disks and devices without it before. Those developments are not always the best. And I'm really worried about them. I know, this is getting a bit off-topic. But it has to be said. Heiko
