Again -- sorry fpr top posting; I hope to hear back from the ProtonMail Bridge people
soon, but haven't yet.
Already uninstalled and purged LightZone, so there's no binary to rename. But you
solved the problem anyway. While I was poking around for artifacts just now, looking in
top to see if I had any zombies, I discovered that there was a java instance running. Part
of LightZone is in java. Did a killall java and poof! it went away.
So. Thanks!
