    Sharon:

    I have experienced the same symptoms you describe, although I don't see
    it as often now. IIRC when I logged out as my local user, and logged in
    as root, I would regularly see two processes related to bonobo showing
    up. I wasn't able to kill them without rebooting -- which was annoying,
    as was the alternative: trying to put up with an incorrect number of
    users on my GKrellm monitor! There was an update related to bonobo about
    a week or so ago that seemed to have helped the situation.

    Try logging out as your user, and log back in as root. Do a ps -ef and
    see what processes are showing up as the logged out user.

    See if my postings related to what I describe are what you are seeing
    yourself. There may be some bug happening that we should put in
    bugzilla. I never saw this happening in FC1.

    and this post asking if the cause may be related to X'ing out of the
    terminal rather than 'exiting' out of the terminal:

    and another user experiencing similar symptoms:
