Since SuSE 6.2, I have not noticed what I now see with 10.2/gnome. I have seen this from day one of my 10.2 experience. One user logs in with gnome, three other users always login kde or by ssh -X, and I usually login fvwm. Every time the gnome user logs out, several apps remain idle in the machine. All other users clean up when they leave. robin is NOT logged on now, but this is the "top" for user robin... 19227 robin 22 0 3772 912 700 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.06 dbus-daemon 19265 robin 16 0 39748 3168 2388 S 0.0 0.3 0:00.26 bonobo-activati 19270 robin 18 0 9440 3784 3128 S 0.0 0.4 0:00.06 gnome-vfs-daemo 19327 robin 15 0 70952 21m 10m S 0.0 2.1 0:21.38 beagled 20182 robin 18 0 79868 9308 7344 S 0.0 0.9 0:00.30 evolution-data- 20553 robin 16 0 0 0 0 Z 0.0 0.0 0:01.41 mono <defunct> 20558 robin 18 0 0 0 0 Z 0.0 0.0 0:01.39 mono <defunct> and "who"... thpnalb@master:~> who thpnalb :0 2007-02-13 19:58 jerpat pts/0 2007-02-13 19:41 (camserv2.site) thpnalb pts/2 2007-02-13 20:59 thpnalb pts/3 2007-02-13 21:03 thpnalb pts/1 2007-02-13 19:58 thpnalb@master:~> Any ideas on what might be the cause?
