Sometimes--probably a bad habit.  Sometimes I just feel a need to 
respond and don't know what to say atm ;-)

Sounds like a reasonable guess, but I don't reboot every day--I don't 
think I rebooted since I installed geany--my uptime says I've been up 
11 days, 20:57--well, I don't think I installed geany that long ago, 
but maybe I did.  

Still, (something for me to learn), I don't think when I start something 
from konsole or from Command Run that KDE does anything tricky with it.

Someday it will all become clear--nothing I'm worried about for 
now!  ;-)
