I've been messing around and I still can't get matchbox to stop unless I execute "/etc/init.d/af-services stop" as root. It's very vexing because as long as matchbox is running kwin can't start, leading to the kicker crashes. I've tried just about every combination of commands from parts of matchbox.sh to portions of /etc/osso-af-init/real-af-services that I can think of and matchbox still restarts automatically. I'll post if I figure anything out.
