Package: gconf2 Followup-For: Bug #311252 Just to confirm that the original reporter isn't some freakish one-off. Here on my domestic network, where most X logins on the public server are my flatmates logging into fvwm2, running firefox and then logging out, I routinely found ghostly gconfd-2 processes haunting the process table (sometimes on their own, sometimes two per user).
It was also often possible to get this sort of effect by invoking various other minor apps such as gthumb or ggv; sometimes gconfd-2 would just exit automatically, sometimes it would require a "gconftool-2 --shutdown", and sometimes it would ignore even that. I spent a while looking for repeatable recipes, but never found any pattern to it other than that firefox tended to cause trouble. I use the past tense because I finally got sick of it and purged gconf2 along with all its dependencies, but I have another machine I could run tests on if you can suggest any. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11.hurakan Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- JBR Ankh kak!
