SUMMARY

Discover can take considerable amount of RAM (up to 600M), and I'd like to quit it after finishing upgrades.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Discover autostarts with Plasma
2. Press Ctrl+Q

OBSERVED RESULT
"plasma-discover" process stays in background.

EXPECTED RESULT
Discover quits.

This would be expected if it's quit while updating, but then it's supposed to quit once it's finished.

You also said "Discover autostarts with Plasma". This is only expected if you're manually set it up to do so, or if it was open at logout.

Are you able to reproduce the bug if you launch Discover normally and then quit it with Ctrl+Q? Or only after it was autostarted at login?

Ah, I probably launched it via DiscoverNotifier update notification.

The plasma-discover process stays running in both cases.

Can you try again with a newer version of KDE Frameworks? I see you're using 6.7. Try 6.9 and see if that helps; it had some fixed for similar issues in KNewStuff, which Discover uses.

I'm using stable-keyworded framework releases, so I'll wait until keywords are updated in Gentoo and let you know.

I've updated to KDE Frameworks 6.9.0 and Plasma 6.2.5 and still need to kill `plasma-discover` manually after quitting the main window.
