Not (**) from the config file, (--) probed or (==), a default setting from X11 itself.

So it would make sense that X11 is not what's doing it. (?)

No idea but if the DE is doing repeated work, how can I find out about it?
And why is it doing it 9 times?
Why not 2 or 3?

The same 'why 9 times' would apply here too.

And why would it want/need to regenerate?

No idea ...
Let's say that it's rather above my 'pay grade' linux wise  =-/.

Thank you both for your help.
