OK, I stand corrected then. Thanks! But, while testing this I lost X once again and "test" survived for some time (check the timestamps):

- It started by killing gkrellm(!!!) - Then I lost X (kdeinit4 I guess) - Then 103 seconds after the killing started, it killed "test" - the real culprit.
I mean... how?!
