Are you sure it even started?   (See below....)

I asked because it has been a long time and I've forgotten what process gets it
going.  I know that it won't get started by logging in via ssh.  I know that when
using kde it gets started somewhere along the line in the startkde process.  Don't
know what kicks it off in other desktops.

So....  Does it get started again when you logout/login?
