I did try something similar, but for me all the extra clients were opened shortly after login, so not enough time to kill processes before they would spawn multiple instances. I found that I had 183 instances of python running after logging in to KDE. Removing as many startup apps as I could did not identify the problem app, but I found that creating and logging in to a new account didn't exhibit the multiple instances of python and xclients.
My solution was to rename ~/.kde and allow it to be regenerated. This has resolved the problem for me. -- apps-wont-open-due-to-maximum-clients-reached-error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
