I noticed something . . . odd.  Sometimes when I do upgrades to some 
packages, I go to single user, check what processes are still running 
and kill strays, then go back to the default run level and login.  I 
just updated a lot of KDE related stuff and went to single user.  When 
it says single user, it ain't kidding.  It even unmounts file systems.  
Oook.  That's weird.  It didn't do that before.  :/  Then when I wanted 
to go back to the default run level and typed in rc default & exit, it 
logged me out which is normal but nothing scrolled up like it did in the 
old baselayout.  The screen went blank and a bit later the KDM screen 
came up.  It used to be that it logged me out and then I saw all the 
services scrolling up until kdm started.

Is this the new normal?  Should I not do the exit thing now?

One good thing I noticed, KDE used to have a LOT of dead processes 
running after logging out, even after going to single user.  Lots of 
kdeinit and knotify stuff.  It seems to close out a LOT cleaner.  On my 
first time going single user, it was clean as a whistle.  I didn't see a 
single stray process in the bunch.  Neato !!

Thanks.
