does not cleanup processes if closed

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803 Description of problem: If evolution is closed it leaves a bunch of processes behind that need to be killed manually: /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 14 /usr/libexec/bonobo-activation-server --ac-activate --ior-output-fd=18 /usr/libexec/evolution/1.4/evolution-wombat--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_ /usr/libexec/evolution/1.4/evolution-alarm-notify--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evol This happens also when exiting the configuration wizard that shows up when evolution is started the forst time. If a user aborts the wizard, ALL processes forked from it should be killed - there`s no need to keep something like alarm notify running if the user decided to abort the wizard and evolution remains unconfigured. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. as a user that has never called evolution before, call it 2. exit the appaering wizard by clicking 'cancel' on it`s first page. 3. run ps ax Actual Results: You`ll see four evolution related processes that are still running and will do so until next reboot. Expected Results: All processes spawned by evolution should be killed. Only if the user completed the wizard the might be a alarm/notify process running - but only if this is the default behaviour or the user selected an appropiate option. Additional info: Unclean shutdowns seem to be quite common with gnome apps. :(
Thanks for the report. Are you running Gnome or KDE? (or something else) The gconfd-2 and bonobo-activation-server processses are shared by most Gnome apps, and so they should hang around in a typical gnome session. Which version of evolution are you running? What does rpm -q evolution say? It looks like an old (FC2) version of evolution is running, whereas this bug report says FC3test2.
on fedora core 2, evolution-1.4.6-2, I see alot of users leaving /usr/libexec/bonobo-activation-server --ac-activate --ior-output-fd=19 and /usr/libexec/evolution/1.4/evolution-wombat --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Wombat_InterfaceCheck --oaf-ior-fd=42 running even after they've logged out
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against FC3 and has remained in NEEDINFO state for quite some time. Many packages and bugfixes have been made since the last substantive bug report. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
