I had installed IEs4Linux which apparently installs it's own copy of wine. I also have the system monitor applet on my top bar (gnome) and as soon as IE6 starts sysmon shows CPU time at 100%. My strace -p looked similar to yours but much longer. I also noticed that all processes remained active even though I closed IE. Doing a ps -ef shows the below statuses: > > scott 7037 1 0 20:39 ? 00:00:00 bash /home/scott/bin/ie6 > scott 7038 7037 25 20:39 ? 00:00:40 /home/scott/.ies4linux/ie6/drive_c/Program Files/Internet Explorer/IEXPLORE.EXE > scott 7039 7037 0 20:39 ? 00:00:00 bash /home/scott/bin/ie6 > scott 7042 1 53 20:39 ? 00:01:25 /usr/lib/../bin/wineserver > scott 7044 1 0 20:39 ? 00:00:00 C:\windows\system32\wineboot.exe --init > scott 7045 7044 0 20:39 ? 00:00:00 C:\windows\system32\winedevice.exe MountMgr > scott 7049 1 0 20:39 ? 00:00:00 C:\windows\system32\explorer.exe /desktop > > > AFAIK, it doesn't start at boot time; not sure what you're talking about. > It can't, since it's a per-user daemon. > - Dan When I installed wine I found that it created a process damon in system services gui that was checked and was running. I did not actually check to see if it had setup to restart on reboot. I believe that in the GUI if the service is cheacked it will be auto started on boot.
