After logging out of a GNOME session, processes owned by the now-logged-
out user still remain and interfere with subsequent logons.  Because
both bonobo-activation-server and gvfs-fuse-daemon are frequently the
culprits, I am not sure to which package to attribute this bug (perhaps
separate bug reports are needed for each aberrant process?).

e.g.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ w
 19:31:47 up  4:40,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.03, 0.09
USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
toobuntu  pts/0    uw5.local        17:23    0.00s  0.18s  0.00s w
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps U cindy
  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
 6538 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/lib/gvfs//gvfs-fuse-daemon /home/cindy/.gvfs 
#[toobuntu: note the double slash here]

My current workaround is to run 'ps U <username-of-user-who-logged-off>' and if 
any processes show up, to run my helper script:
$ cat /usr/local/bin/kill-stragglers
#!/bin/bash

# takes 1 argument: the username of the user who logged off

USER=$1
sudo kill -9 $( ps U $USER | grep -v TTY | awk '{print $1}' ) 2> /dev/null
