I am *not* exagerating. Please look at the

1. I think eggcups is the process for printing. Why it takes up more
than 40mb memory? On Windows 2000, the spooler printing service takes
up only a little more than 4mb memory and less than 3mb virtual memory.
2. And, eggcups belongs to my session. I am not familiar with the
terminal concept. I guess if a user logs on thru a dumb terminal,
he/she will get his/her own eggcups; and 40mb memory will reduced from
the server. Is my guess true?
3. If I 'kill nnn', where nnn is the pid of eggcups, it somehow
respawns. How can I stop this? Anyway I don't want printing service
right now, I am just learning programming on Linux.
4. I don't want xscreensaver, because I am running FC3 inside Microsoft
Virtual PC. How to stop it?
5. What is gnome-vfs/esd? Are they a must to for a user session?
Please forgive me if my post aroused some kind of holy debate. I come
from Windows world, it's inevitable for me to compare Linux/FC with
Windows. But I will appreciate very much if someone can help me,
instead of just saying 'Only newbies don't understand' or even 'Only
morons don't understand'.
1. Go to Applications/Preferences/More Preferences/Sessions.
2. Click on "Current Session" tab
3. Choose egg-cups in the list
4. Press remove, then apply - eggcups will quit.
Now press Alt-F2, in the run dialog type gnome-session-save. Press
"Run". This will save the session, so eggcups will not run at next
logon. This will save the state of all windows, so if you want to log
in to clean desktop - close all windows before this.
esd is a sound server. Without it you won't have sound effects, and
some sound applications will not work. Go to
Applications/Preferences/Sound and uncheck "Enable sound server
startup" if you don't care about this.
Great! Thanks for the right answers!
