IIUC, something must explicitly start it. That is what I meant. A
daemon on the other hand can be set to "respawn" so that it will start
again automatically if it dies.
If it is actually restarting, this is very odd.

Did you use the command: kill -s SIGKILL <pid>

You should see "kfmclien"t die, because it is just a wrapper. You
execute a command like:
kfmclient openProfile filemanagement "/home/jrt/"
"kfmclient" will not keep running, it will promptly die after it has
opened another konqueror window.
So, the question, which I do not have an answer for, is what keeps
executing "kmfclient"
Can you recover the whole command line from TOP or something??
