Assigning to XFCE maintainer, because I doubt the KDE maintainers will think this is a bug :-þ

There might be more KDE stuff running in XFCE. Using top last time I used XFCE (last night), with nothing else started, except rsync in tty2, I noticed several applications with names that start with a "k".

Well, is seems to have shown up with the latest round of kde/plasma updates this week.

I just completed a clean network install this morning to verify I did not have something leftover after those updates.

Oh balderdash. Same as you, all sorts of k* running.

Assigning back to bugsquad. As Xfce maintainer I'm not going to decide which KDE/GNOME/Mate/LXQt/LXDE apps should be allowed to start on session startup. It's something that app maintainer and/or upstream should think of plus there're already options to allow/disallow GNOME/KDE services to start on Xfce session startup.

Hehe, I was pretty sure assignment to Xfce was not going to fly. :)

I agree, Default user setting is Gnome stuff, and I have disabled about 98% of the autostart session items.

Amount of noise generated by KDE code in logs is ridicules.
Out of the box install should only have warn/error enabled.

My current workaround is to place kwrite inside of a wrapper script and pkill  kactivitymanagerd after launching kwrite.

Well with kactivitymanager not installed it would be hard to start it. :)
Guessing you missed Step 1 in test procedure. :)

Just now tried kwrite a and here is a journal snippet.
