Version: 4.6 (using KDE 4.6.2) OS: Linux When booting with "Notification Helper" enabled kded4 is creating a zombie process (and eating more CPU then usually?), this doesn't happen when the notificiation helper is disabled. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable Notification Helper under Systemsettings 2. type "killall kded4" 3. type "kded4" 4. type "ps -u USERNAME | grep kded4", you will get something like: 2838 pts/0 00:00:00 kded4 2845 pts/0 00:00:00 kded4 <defunct> 5. Disable Notification Helper under Systemsettings 6. type "killall kded4" 7. type "kded4" 8. type "ps -u USERNAME | grep kded4", you will get something like: 2853 pts/0 00:00:00 kded4 Actual Results: 2838 pts/0 00:00:00 kded4 2845 pts/0 00:00:00 kded4 <defunct> Expected Results: 2853 pts/0 00:00:00 kded4
Are you using version 10.10? If yes, this might be fixed already, see bug 263790. If it is not fixed in latest 11.04 version, I suggest to report it downstream to Launchpad, as the Notification Helper is a Kubuntu-specific add on.

I found that bug on launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/kubuntu-notification-helper/+bug/515138 thanks, I thought it's a KDE related bug
