Does it have to be Xfce?? Running KDE -- with several Gnome apps, btw -- I
get :
[root@localhost btth]# ps -C esd
PID TTY TIME CMD
[root@localhost btth]# ps ax | grep esd
2981 pts/7 R+ 0:00 grep esd
[root@localhost btth]# killall esd
esd: no process killed
[root@localhost btth]# killall -9 esd
esd: no process killed
[root@localhost btth]#
I meant to mention at first that I can run KDE with gnome panels,
including several gnome apps.
Meanwhile, I've also done "yum install gth* gtk-*" -- and that didn't fix
it either.
