I have a system which runs for a long time, even though it is in standby some time of it, and the system monitor is usually running all the time. After a day or so system monitor show tasks which doesn't exist anymore because they have already been closed. They don't have a high memory usage but if I use ps to check for them they are not there and if I restart system monitor they are gone too. So there seems to be a problem in system monitor to remove some finished tasks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run system monitor 2.let it run for ~24 hours - probably start and close some application in this time 3.compare the tasks in system monitor with the one of ps Actual Results: system monitor shows tasks which are not there anymore Expected Results: system monitor should only show existing tasks
This happens since quite some time and also with current KDE 4.8.3.
