KDE has an autostart folder in ~/.kde/Autostart - check if there is anything in there. If you don't log in grahpically, also check your .xinitrc.

Theres nothing in either of those directories/Folder. Could it be starting from somewhere else? Thanks.

In the KDE 'Control Panel' (can't remember what it's actually called), have a look at the Keyboard Layout applet. If you have multiple keyboard layouts selected, and 'enable keyboard layouts' selected, I believe it puts a little flag icon in the taskbar for you to change layouts.

One obvious way to get rid of it is to have only one active keyboard layout. If you have multiple active layouts but want to get rid of it anyway (can't see why you would, but hey) it may be a little harder. Perhaps unchecking the 'enable xkb options' will help, perhaps not. In any case, the process itself is called kxkb.

HTH,
Andrzej

The above should work, but if it doesn't, what application is it?

Thanks for the help. There was a checkbox on the last page of the program to disable auto start. It was some language/text program.
