Well, it seems the best way is to:

lsof | grep libX11.so

I tried the -p --program option of netstat (netstat -anpx | grep
X11-unix), but it doesn't display anything for the X11 socket. I also
tried to match the inode displayed by netstat to a program using lsof
without success. If I try a find -lname '*socketnum*' /proc, no luck either.

So ...

And it seems syndaemon (synaptics daemon that block the touchpad while
we use the keyboard) is responsible.

thanks everyone

Mildred
