Description Emanuel Haupt 2010-08-11 16:48:12 CEST
Every time the "adjust command" gets executed xfce4-generic-slider leaves a zombie Process behind.

In my case I use the following command, which always exits with 0:

$ mixer vol 71; echo $?
Setting the mixer vol from 71:71 to 71:71.
0

You can see it nicely if you run "pstree" or "ps wauxf" with watch -n 1 "" while sliding around a few times on the slider.

BTW, I am using the current git version.

Thanks a lot. It took some playing to get rid of zombie processes from the monitor command. I forgot to check if some were coming from the adjust command. I committed your patch today.

Why is this patch applied in git and the bug still open?
Comment 4 Connor Behan 2010-08-27 21:40:57 CEST
Because I apparently don't have permission to close bugs on here.
