Source: mate-desktop Version: 1.8.1+dfsg1-2 Severity: normal As stated in GLib docs [1], running g_spawn_async with G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD flag requires adding a child watch function like g_child_watch_add afterwards to prevent the child from becoming a zombie.
Current desktop item launcher does not do that. It even ignores the child PID completely, regardless of the result of the function call. The upstream pull request [2] fixes the issue.
