What were you trying to do?
Just log in normally.

What's wrong:
This is a recurring problem.  The problem is that often when I log on
there are processes left over that are slowing my computer down.  (As
well as worrying me that someone might have left a hack on my computer.)
I'd guess about 40% of the time that I log in there is at least one
process left over.  I put into my .startup.X file "ps aux | grep null"
to check every time I log in.  I asked "help -i" what I should do, and
user yandros (Chad) suggested that I report the problem to you. 

What should have happened:
Of course all processes (when I log in) should be either mine or root's.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I really don't know.
