Hello,
We're seeing lots of kdesktop_lock processes left lying around after users have logged out. With the number of users (100+ on some of our systems) and uptimes in years, the process table is going to end up full of these :-(
If one does an strace on the process it terminates but not until then.
Here's a (partial) pstree of a user with a three hanging kdesktop_lock processes:
F S UID PID PPID PGID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD 0 S 1051 22549 1 22482 0 80 0 - 7739 - ? 00:00:00
kdesktop_lock
Process 22482 (the PGID) doesn't exist.
That is partially because PGID is not a process id, it is a process group ID.
Cheers.
