Not using KDE, why is kded5 running?

mxx · 2015-11-23 17:51:12

Hi,

I'm using XDM with Gnome and I noticed by accident that kded5 was running (sometimes eating 100% cpu).
I don't use kde, although I have it installed.
I'm not starting any kde apps after boot that I'm aware of either.

Could someone please point me into the right direction on how to debug this?
I'd like to find out why kded5 starts, usually right after logging into gnome.

I've disabled all autostarts, looked into xinitrc.d and couldn't find anything kde related in enabled systemd service files either.

Does anyone have any suggestion where to look for the reason of kded5 starting, or does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening?

Thank you very much!

Kind regards,
Max

Via journalctl I found out that it's started by dbus. But I can't figure out what's causing the activation.
I tried to monitor with dbus-monitor using a startupscript and nohup in xinitrc.d, but that stopped logging after the first 2 entries.

Is there any way to figure out which dbus services have dependencies of/start a certain process without going through the dbus service files manually?
Something like a boot/activation-chart would be great.
Does anything keep track on what caused the activation of a certain dbus service?

Thank you!
