Hi, I have noticed this for a while but can't figure it out. After I have been logged into KDE for a long while, artsd starts using a LOT of memory. Keep in mine this rig has 1GB or ram if you go by the percentage. This is from top:

Is this a bug with KDE 3.5 and I need to report it? Any ideas at all. Come on Holly, you have to know something about this. LOL Oh, I can log out and back in, it's back to normal. I hate logging out almost as much as I hate to reboot. I like my slideshow OK. o_O What you folks think?? Dale :-) -- To err is human, I'm most certainly human.
