Description Craig Magina 2011-09-21 17:48:08 UTC

Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

After a period of time running kde, there are a bunch of kded processes in a defunct state.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just run the desktop for a while, although it might require suspensions to actually cause the issue.

Actual Results:  
A bunch of defunct/zombie kded daemons.

Expected Results:  
No defunct/zombie kded daemons.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.0.0-11-generic
Compiler: gcc

Comment 1 Craig Magina 2011-09-21 19:16:43 UTC

It has nothing to do with suspension. I rebooted my system and over the course of time that has passed since I submitted this bug there have been created a bunch of kded zombie/defunct processes. What data can I gather to help debug this issue?

Ubuntu and no further information, let's assume it was a dupe.
