Package: xfce4-panel Version: 4.4.2-1 Severity: normal when a plugin is removed from the panel, the associated process for that plugin will remain active, but in a defunct state. as an example, i added the verve, cpufreq, and battery plugins to the xfce panel, then removed them all. you can see that all those processes are now defunct.
