personal settings for java

I do not remember ever setting personal settings for java, in fact, I
was unaware that any settings could be set.

ll of these are the KDE process interaction server

Thanks. I figured that they were KDE related because of the term DCOP
but I did not realize that there was need of an interactive server.

The kde SMBFS frontend

Unusual, as I've never used samba

database settings

I have no database. At least, no MySQL, Oracle, or other 'database'.
Maybe some programs use sqlite, but that shouldn't be related.

Thanks.

Settings for usermode creation of Xservers

Thanks.

~/.xsession-errors (this one is 98 MB)

... the errors from you\r xsessions...? :P

Can it be erased? I've no need to troubleshoot as I'm not experiencing
any problems that I know about.

... you could probably just google themm..

Most of the files that aren't listed here I did google, but those that
had me confused I asked. I'm more of a lurker than a poster on this
list, and I know to STFW before consuming bandwidth. Thanks!
