screenshot of described processes

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

I have 2 gvim windows open. When I hit CTRL+ESC to get the process table or when I start ksysguard to see the same list, I get 4 entries about vim:
2 gvim which are really the still running processes, but I also get 2
which just show a vim icon, have a PID which does not exist, and belong to the "root, -1" user (but I started them as user koller) and with an "unknown" CPU%

See attached screenshot.

Reproducible: Always

Could you file a bug against gvim please?  It means it is incorrectly setting the _NET_WM_PID property for the process.  This window property should be set to the PID for the process.

ok, did that now.

Any new news from the gvim people?

Sorry, had no time to look at this yet.
