Is there a command that can.
show the command's that my system is using when I use the kde windows manager?
I thought it would be a good learning tool to see what the windows manager is doing in linux commands.

hi,
commands are essentially little programs named things like "ls" "cp" whatever.
your KDE desktop doesn't function by exececutiong these type programms -- that would be very slow and ineficient. Instead KDE implements the same type of undelying system calls these programms use and also some higher level functions found in Qt and KDE API and the X API to and possibly others to do it's work.
Really the only way to see what it's doing is to read the source code.

Thanks.
One more simple question, I'd like to change my cursor to a graphic of my comic book character, which application would I use to do that?

no, just thought I'd let the opening run into the question. I'll be more exacting with my next thread in order to be more specific so readers can be certain they want to examine it.
