The zombie part of this issue should be already fixed in lp:zeitgeist by using glib.spawn_async() instead of subprocess.Popen() (LP: #739780)

This is better in theory because this way we only start a native daemon on login and can defer the launching of the heavier Python process zeitgeist-daemon. Unfortunately zeitgeist-datahub does DBus activation of the zeitgeist- daemon on startup so we really don't get the benefits we wanted. Bootcharts from Ubuntu 11.04 indicates that ZG eats about 1s on the login time and I don't think that is acceptable for ZG in the longer run. That is - no catastrophe for 11.04, but we should fix this. (a related issue seems to be that the dbus activated zeitgeist-daemon seems to launch another datahub instance that then immediately becomes a zombie... ? :-/) _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zeitgeist Post to : zeitgeist@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zeitgeist More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
