1) What's the -:0 process that top shows me ?

2) How should I have searched the Internet for it ?

references to "Eats, Shoots and Leaves.")

That's your X login

It consists of two parts:
1) the '-', which is the name that, by convention, is given to /every/ login
~ shell
2) the ':0', which indicates that you are connected through X on localhost to
~ display 0

Don't know.
