I also have experienced something like it. In my case it was Wireshark
coming up after I only launched it once. It is probably KDE’s session
management getting into your way. Unfortunately I haven’t found a place
where to configure the session. There’s probably a file in ~/.config or
~/.local about that. As a quick remedy I switched to empty session on
startup (open system settings and look for session).
Did you try adding Wireshark to the Don't restore these applications list
in System Settings->Startup and Shutdown->Desktop Session?
Ha, the problem is back, dolphins everywhere. The problem seems to be,
for me at least, that when I close Dolphin after doing a bit of
file/folder stuff that the GUI shuts down but some zombie part remains.
Just now, when I fired the machine up, I had three instances of Dolphin
running. I closed all three, little red button top right hand corner and
did a:
ps -A | grep dolphin | wc -l
Sure enough 3 zombies. Open Dolphin, do some "stuff", close Dolphin, do
the "ps" command above and I' ve now got 4 zombies. Do this a couple of
more times and I now have 8 - 9 zombies.
Clean out ~/.config/session, ie it's now empty, and shut the machine
down. Restart machine and hey presto, 8 - 9 Dolphins up and running and
~/.config/session contains 8 - 9 Dolphin "restart config", or whatever
they are called, files.
I think it is time to head over to some KDE forum and ask questions
there.
