There are two things I'd look at :) KDE and X also drop some lock files and
the like in /tmp, so deleting those might be worth a try.
As far as processes running, I'd be inclined to redirect the output of `ps ax`
into a file (ps ax > file2.txt) Then again into a differently named file
after rebooting. Use diff to compare these two files, and see what's
different. This might give you a few hints.
