Hi all, If you use evolution from KDE, it starts up a number of background services: 1283 ? S 0:00 oafd --ac-activate --ior-output-fd=10 1287 ? S 0:00 wombat --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:Bonobo_Moniker_wombat_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=10 1292 ? S 0:00 bonobo-moniker-xmldb --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:Bonobo_Moniker_xmldb_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=12 1316 ? S 0:00 evolution-alarm-notify --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Calendar_AlarmNotify_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=17 1664 ? S 0:00 /opt/gnome/bin/gconfd-1 12 These don't shut themselves down after closing Evolution. They stick around. Though this is no serious problem, I'd like to know why they don't terminate, and if there's a way to have evolution klean up after itself, short of writing a script for that.
