This is what happens when the government controls the internet.
Sorry, had to bite. :P

This analogy fails me completely, but I'd be interested to know what
you mean by it. :)

I'm fairly confident it's not just FC5; Ubuntu has this too.  I think
it's a GNOME thing.  I've seen this happen (that Force Quitting
doesn't totally kill the underlying process) a few times, each of
which was because of the app using another process.  In the case of
Rhythmbox, it was my faulty CD drive.  In this case, I would blame
Flash.  But that's just me.
