xfapplet process not being killed when X server is killed

Description Yves-Alexis Perez editbugs 2008-04-24 05:50:52 CEST
A debian user reported that when killing its X server for some reason, the xfapplet plugin was still running, with a PPID of 1 (init), and it seems to cause problems at the next xfce4-panel start.

Is there a reason for this, or could we consider this as a bug?

(sorry, no component for xfapplet-plugin)

Cheers,

This bug has been reported to Ubuntu Launchpad as:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/683910

I just upgraded to 10.04 (yeah, I'm a little behind the times). I have been seeing this same behavior since Karmic. It is still present in Lucid. Usually after a logout, the CPU pegs at 100% for each instance of xfapplet set up. For me, it happens for gnome sensors-applet. I must manually kill the runaway process after I login again, or from another PTY.
