Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gconf2

When using a thin client kind of way (Nomachine NX or LTSP), it stays
running when the connection crashes for some reason or when terminating
the session on the serverside. gnome-session gets killed correctly, but
gconfd stays running. It won't detect that the gnome-session isn't
running anymore.

I expected the process to detect when the parent dies, the process
itself will close.
