Title:
gconfd-2 becomes orphane when parent process crashes
Status in gconf:
Won't Fix
Status in gconf package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gconf2
When using a thin client kind of way (Nomachine NX or LTSP), it stays
running when the connection crashes for some reason or when
terminating the session on the serverside. gnome-session gets killed
correctly, but gconfd stays running. It won't detect that the gnome-
session isn't running anymore.
I expected the process to detect when the parent dies, the process
itself will close.

Workaround: running `gconftool-2 --shutdown` as the owner of the
gconfd-2 process, will close it though. But the process needs to close
by itself.
