Next silly Q, ktorrent this time.

Greetings;

I had a screen blank that wouldn't unblank, probably for the same reason it 
gets spells of blinking like crazy.  So I used the big ctl-alt-backspace 
hammer to kill x.

KTorrent was running in window one at the time, seeding the F10-i386-DVD.iso.  
Still is for that matter, I can see it in the traffic lights on my switch, 
and the running processes in 'htop'.

However, even if I kill all those processes, I still cannot get the ktorrent 
gui to come up again.  The launch attempt, either from the kmenu, or the CLI, 
will restart the processes ok, but still no gui so I can't control it, and 
its apparently part of the x server saved data, so if I kill all the 
processes and then use the mouse to exit x, then restart it again, the 
torrents are also started again, but w/o the gui.

Suggestions anybody?  Or should I call ghostbusters?

Thanks.
