Yeah, joyd is a source of annoyance because its not really designed for analogue joypads. Often, the deadzone for the joypad isnt high enough, so it will constantly use resources whilst the joypad is held in any particular direction. I'll make it optional in future releases.

Hi, there!
I wonder how you killed that task?
I think I'm able to use xterm, running 'ps -A|more', and find the process and kill it from there, but is it possible to remove it from the sdtartup-script somehow?
And,lastly, is there any way i can start the graphical taskmanager from the XFCE-menu, with root-privilegies, so that i get full control over the tasks?

Best regards from Bergen, Norway!..
