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.
