----

As i decide to have 'recommends=no' i ran into a problem with ksysguard.
As it is missing ksysguardd which is recommend, not dependency, ksysguard fails.
It opens the gui and starts showing an increasing number of zombies of itself in 
the process table. I add output of konsole after ksysguard is started:

Imho there should be a message telling the user he is missing ksysguardd.
