The process is displayed in top(1), sometimes in status "select", sometimes even in status "RUN". 17468 piter 1 97 0 107M 79776K select 0:06 0.20% acroread I just don't understand why the process stays alive, and what it's does, when RUNning. As a side effect, everything copied to the X clipboard gets intercepted by acroread, which is very uncomfortable when using tools like sysutils/pwsafe... I would even be more than happy to uninstall acroread, but I really need the firefox plugin... Any ideas?
