Hello,

We recently started using CentOS 5 (RHEL5), with gnome 2.16 in our labs.

I've noticed that sometimes after logout; gnome-vfs-daemon,
gnome-volume-manager, gnome-power-manager, and gconfd may continue
running under the last user's uid. The next login gets new daemons (even
if it's the same user), and these processes start to build up.
Basically, if they don't die soon after logout, they never die.

I can write a cron job to clean these out, but is there some
mis-configuration causing this?
Strange. I have not seen this issue.


What is the state of this process - zombie ?

Would it be possible to run an strace on these processes just before
logout, to help us checkout why these process do not die ?

strace -ffvvvt -o /tmp/trace -s 2048 -p pid


Are there any funny messages in /var/log/{messages,audit,secure} ?



Thanks
-jim
