Hi! When logging off from KDE with gkrellm running I get multiple instances of gkrellm the next time I login. The gkrellm maintainer says it's a KDE bug!?
Quote from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=174192 "In some versions of KDE multiple gkrellm instances will be started at login even though only one gkrellm was running when the last session ended. I don't have any such reports for Gnome. Based on some feedback I've received, it appears that this happens when there are multiple process entries for gkrellm. Extra process entries appear when gkrellm runs threads for checking such things as sensors, remote mailboxes, inet connections, and some file system functions. It also won't help if all threads have terminated because there will always be at least two process entries (the Initial Thread and the Manager Thread ) as soon as the first thread is run. So it appears to me that KDE is interpreting all thread instances of a process as a session managed process to be restarted at login. This problem did not appear in gkrellm 1.2.x because those versions did not register with the X session manager. The Gnome session manager sees both the Initial Thread and the Manager Thread, but recognizes the difference and marks the Manager Thread as "Trash" and so does not try to restart it at the next login. So at this point I'm inclined to say this is a KDE bug, but if anybody has any more insight than this, let me know." Any words on this issue? I'm running Debian/unstable with KDE 3.1 and gkrellm 2.1.4-1 Regards, Patrick
