    I see them too. They are system processes and take no percentage of CPU or MEM.

        Thanks for the replies. I'm happy to know that they are supposed to be there. Be nice if I knew what it all was. Any place to go to find out?
        I tried Enlightenment once, it was pretty cool.

          Items listed in Top that end in 'd' are daemons, which are usually started at boot.
