htop - console-kit spams the screen - resolved.

htop is a great tool, but I was being driven NUTS by the console-kit dameon shoving craploads of processes into the screen (60-70) ... finally dawned on me to read the stupid man page...

scroll down to the console-kit (first line) and press:

H

disables console-kit from showing up in the process list.

At least now it's usable. Rolling Eyes

I upgraded antiX-M8 to latest Debian Sid repos and it pulled in console-kit and the annoying 60 processes shown in htop.
I don't want/need console-kit, but I can't remove it as it will rip out Xorg1.6 Sad

So thanks for the tip.
