Most KDE-Apps don't actually quit, when I close them. Applications that support multiple instances therefor accumulate many instances over time.
E.g.: I have one Konqueror-session open, ps tells me there are about ten. If i keep opening and closing kate-sessions more and more kate-process gather.
KMail and kopete won't quit properly either, but they only respwan their one instance so it doesnt matter much with those.

When quitting KDE, most of these (konq and kate-)zombie-sessions die with SIGSEGV, sometimes also SIGABRT. However the next time I start KDE it actually creates many konqueror instances (which are only visible through ps). Strange enough kate actually opens a empty session for every kate-session I had open before reboot.

Right now i just killall konqueror and killall kate before logout or after login, but it sure seems something is really bugged somewhere...

Or is this whole thing done on purpose to reduce application-startup-time or sth. like that?

Thanks for your help!
