Well, I was wondering if I should remake this bug a dup of bug #7785 because Ralph that did decide it was a duplicate, is more qualified than me. But I felt I was ok, so I decided to dig the code to see if I could find evidence that this is not the same bug.

I have found that serviceconfig.py in kde-guidance, have this:
    ########################################################################
    def fetchStatus(self):
        if self.getStatusFrom == "pidfile":
            self.fetchStatusFromPidFile()
        elif self.getStatusFrom == "top":
            # FIXME: not yet implemented
            self.fetchStatusFromTop()

    ########################################################################
    def fetchStatusFromTop(self):
        # FIXME, incomplete.
        top = os.popen("ps -aux")

    ########################################################################

which suggest that it intend to use 'ps -aux' (by the way I think it should be ps aux (witout the '-') I am sure at 80%) but
was not implemented yet. Indeed udevd have no .pid file in /var/run.

So I continue to think this is a different bug than bug #77875.
In fact this is not really a bug, just a not yet implemented feature.
