Oh you're right, I didn't notice it.

And it's weird, I've just done some tests, and I always
have the same pids that are found inside the events but
but not in /proc:

7989 -> npviewer.bin
5467 -> xchat
5124 -> firefox
7929 -> npviewer.bin

That's weird. I'm going to look further on the proc filesystem.
