Guys,
Over the past week or so, I have had terrible problems with thunderbird and firefox not quitting when you tell them to resulting in either and error message when you try and restart them telling you they are still running and you have to quit them first before you can restart them or just screwing up your session so that firefox and thunderbird unexpectedly start the next time you launch your desktop (kde set to save session on exit)
I thought something with kde session manager was botched at first and I would just either edit or delete ksmserverrc, but then when I got the error about Firefox and Thunderbird needing to be shutdown before being restarted, things started to make a little more sense.
For example, when thunderbird fails to shutdown, the process that continue to run are either one or more of:
thunderbird thunderbird-bin thunderbird.sh
Setting up a small script to check for them and kill them straightened this out, but that doesn't answer the question of what's broke or how to fix it. Has anyone else seen this behavior?
I experience something similar with seamonkey (which is kind of firefox, too): I close the (one and only) browser window, seconds later I open it again and a message tells me, that seamonkey is already running. So I say ok to this message and open the browser again, and it starts normally. This morning after booting and logging in as user, two seamonkey windows opened, but I'm a 100% sure, that there was no seamonkey window open nor shown in the taskbar when I shutted down yesterday. I don't consider it "terrible", and I thought, I must have done something wrong, but now that you point to it, I just report, that I have seen similar... kind regards Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com my new blog: http://www.guapamania.com/wordpress/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
