Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: maximus
On both Ubuntu 9.04 and Ubuntu-netbook-remix 9.04 I am using Maximus and
I love it, however both share a common problem. I'm running netbook-
remix on an ASUS EEE 901, and standard Ubuntu (amd64, installed from alt
cd just for expediency) on an ASUS N80vn-A1. In both cases, whenever I
launch any application, maximus starts a new thread along with it.
However, when the application closes, the maximus threat takes a very
long time to close. When I reboot, my session saves running apps, and
this usually includes 10 to 15 running Maximus processes for
applications I closed several minutes prior to reboot. Upon completeing
the reboot and login, the previous lingering processes are started again
- but never die. On my ASUS N80vn I now have 27 Maximus processes with
only Evolution, Firefox, Rhythmbox, and Tilda running. Since Tilda has
no taskbar entry and Rhythmbox stays in my tray I don't think they
should have running Maximus tasks, but even so, 27 Maximus tasks for 4
running applications is insane.
What I'd like is for Maximus to kill its own sleeping threads
immediately, or at worst, in just a few seconds, instead of not dying
several minutes later. I understand this may be a small performance hit
but having 23 undead background processes is a much harder one!

Maximus creates way too many processes
