Nope, it's not just Gnome.  I am running K12Linux 10 with KDE and I have
tons of cruft left over from old sessions.  One user had 5 sets of
desktops running simultaneously.  It appears that if the client gets
rebooted the old sessions and all their processes never get killed.

I just run ps -ef | grep LTSPROCKS and if you see any duplicate userIDs
in there there are probably dead sessions (unless the user is logged in
more than once).

I think just killing the parent process (ex: ssh) should kill all the
children, but I am not sure it always works.

killall -u <username> may also work if you know the username of a user
who has logged out but still has processes running though I have not
tried that yet either.

Bad: yes.  I am hoping someone else knows why these processes hang
around after the client disappears and can recommend a proper fix.
