The evil that kapm-idled wreaks

[Deven Phillips]

Jeff and Warren,

	The kapm-idled shows up that way in mandrake because of the patches they 
have applied. You cannot get rid of it, but it essentially takes the place of 
the idle process. Which means that any CPU time that you are not using is 
idle, and therefore shows up under kapm-idled. This will not hurt anything, 
and is not taxing your computer at all.
