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 ?


I was hoping someone would say "Oh, that's caused by _______", but you
know that never really happens :)

I think they all show up sleeping, but of course I haven't been able to
replicate it today.
I also caught bonobo-activation-server doing this, and I did confirm
that it was in state sleeping.
I just discovered that gdm wasn't registering with utmp, so users
weren't shown as logged in. Don't know if it's related, but I'll see if
it still happens when some students get here.


I'll try to collect more info.

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


Nope, don't see anything fishy in the logs either.

Thanks,
