After I launch KDE artsd is always running -- even if the "Enable sound system" check box is not checked in the control center. By checking and unchecking the box and pushing Apply I can stop artsd -- but it will happily restart the next time. Am I missing something here? -- Markus ___________________________________________________ . Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde. Archives: http://lists.kde.org/.
