IconServiceAgent

[Eric Gallager]

What system are you running on? I do not have that daemon on my system...
Anyway, to deal with unkillable daemons, you usually have to mess with
launchd via launchctl, but I am not sure how you would do that for the
macports user, seeing as it is a "no login" user as you mentioned...
