Therefore i did a 'cp kabotend.prg to /usr/bin/kabooter-end' and set its executable flags. Then i added "kabooter-end" to the bottom of /etc/rc.d/rc.nfs, right before the "exit 0" line. I know this is not nice, but at least now only the xaaes.km messages are left visible. If there is a clean way to make sure the Kabouter is killed right before xaaes starts, i'd appreciate a hint.
