Coming back after a few days, it happened _twice_ today after 2 weeks of silence. Log has is saying
Mar 3 10:06:17 [gdm] gdm_display_unmanage: Stopping ag202-1.arcig:0 (slave pid: 7420) Mar 3 10:06:27 [gdm] whack_old_slave: GOT ANOTHER SIGTERM (or it was 10 secs already), killing slave again and killing 7420 did help. One person contacted me by mail directly with the same problem, also mounting/umounting local media on the thinstations so now I suspect the problem to be there more definitively. I hope she mails some details to BTS soon, as I asked her to do. For the moment, I propose the following patch, some comment upon its possible side-effects please. Instead of sending SIGTERM repeatedly, send SIGKILL for the second time. It is not yet tested (not even compiled) but I will report problems here.
