Sorry it's taken me a while to do this. I ran ps Udan and ps Uroot (I think the latter should have picked up anything that would have been in ps xf.)
Yes, but it won't show the relationships, unless you give it more flags and cross-reference PIDs with PPIDs. I was hoping you'd see some child of xdm or xinit which was doing the mischief.
