<pre wrap="">I'm starting to wonder what other services are running on the machine.
something like sendmail could easily be running a queue or whatever, every
10 minutes. likewise mailman, sympa and a host of other things. kill
them all, then test (-:

Thanks for the tip, David - as I write this, Qjackctl shows 14:35 since
the last X Run!!! <br>
<br>
I don't have this completely narrowed down as to the offending
program(s), however what I did was open the System Monitor and began
stopping programs I thought were either likely offenders or simply
unnecessary. One thing I didn't realize was that Evolution (linux mail
client), despite not being my default mail client and not being active
still had 4 programs running - remains to be seen if that's the
culprit. Here's what I currently have stopped:<br>
<br>
ntpd<br>
evolution-alarm-notifier<br>
evolution-data-server-1.10<br>
evolution-exchange-storage<br>
evolution<br>
freshclam<br>
update-notifier<br>
gnome-screensaver<br>
getty (there were 6 instances of this running, all showing the
identical amount of memory being used - I left one on and stopped the
other 5 - no idea what this is - will research it further - but doubt
this has anything to do with the X run issue, since one is still
running)<br>
<br>
FYI: I'm now at over 22 mins without an X run, still at my 2ms latency
setting and I happen to be watching an HD movie at the same time! (and
no, it didn't take me 8 mins to write this - had to have a pillsbury
turnover break for fortitude ; - )<br>
<br>
I'd really like to thank everyone that helped me with this issue - one
of the best things about switching to linux has been the community -
thanks guys!!!<br>
