As for that other zombie, the one generated when I start up tderandrtray: that bothers me more, as its behavior makes no sense. When I quit or kill tderandrtray, the zombie vanishes; when I start it up again, the zombie is back.
That makes perfect sense.

Killing the parent, tderandrtray, should allow the OS to remove the zombie, which is exactly what you are seeing.

That is pretty much what I suspected, that I had discovered a bug, but I didn't really want to go through the steps of reporting it.
However ... in the interests of helping the TDE devs, and also for the betterment of all humanity ... I will file a bug report, if somebody points me in the right direction.
