This happens *sometimes* with some apps like devhelp and *always* with other ones like anjuta.
4.4.x panel launcher had not such problem.

Err plugins, launchers, meh...
Comment 3 Andrea Santilli 2008-10-23 20:19:42 CEST
hmm I don't know if this bug is the same of the 3889.
This one is about external programs, launched by a panel launcher, that stay in zombie status after exit, and it's still present in version 4.5.91-rev28292.

The fix used for bug 2983, related to thunar/xfdesktop, should work if applied to plugins/launcher/launcher-exec.c although I still didn't test it properly.

I undid the dupplicate within 20 seconds, will look into it.
Comment 5 Andrea Santilli 2008-10-30 22:26:32 CET
ok, that patch seems to work to me.
Comment 6 Nick Schermer editbugs 2008-11-01 17:34:02 CET
Fixed in revision 28562. I really though is picked the patch from Thunar, but i didn't...
