Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
still present through 4 and 5 evolution 2.6.2 leaves processes running after closing. workaround - wrapper script to kill the dangling processes still running after closing evolution.
Moving to FC5 as per comment #2. Thanks!
(clearing needinfo bit.)
This is a feature, not a bug. The notify daemon stays running so that one still receives things like calendar reminders from Evo even when the main Evo apps are closed. The notify daemon (I believe), the Clock applet's calendar/task list, and lots of other apps now rely on EDS, thus EDS also stays open. Also, to quell any memory concerns, using the new "Memory" column from Gnome System Monitor 2.15.91 under FC6-test, EDS and evo-alarm-notify only chew up 5 and 1.5 MB of memory, respectively. This new column is intended to show the "true" memory usage of apps - see this bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341241
Closing as NOTABUG per comment #5.
