[gdm-list] Leftover processes.

["Hedblom Daniel" <nihmdl skola solleftea se>]

Hello!

I run a pretty large terminal server on Linux (Edubuntu/Breezy Badger)
with 60 concurrent sessions and about 400 total users. With X11 sessions
that die for various reasons leaves processes hanging. Cleaning theese
up is pretty cumbersome and potentially dangerous on a 24/7 system. Is
gdm supposed to clean this out or are the applications in gnome that
hangs around just badly written and not listening to term signals?

Im very interested in solving this but i dont really know where to
start. Ive just recently begun programming so i dont understand the gdm
code yet.
