Hello Peter,

You mean that's the point where I need serial console access? I hope to=20
have that running after the holidays.

Well, xmms is just the first app where it became apparent :)
PID 678 is really kded (at least it is at the moment - It is very likely=20
it was then too, since these low PIDs seem to generally be assigned the=20
same way with each boot). kded appears to be some CORBA-related tool used=20
by KDE.

Btw, is my assumption that this is a kernel problem, not a problem with=20
any of my applications, correct?

Anyway, many thanks for your help and insight so far, it is appreciated.

Greetings
Benjamin
