I am not at my box right now, so cannot check this ... It's just a random thought here, so forgive my musings if I'm way off here--I'll check it out when I get home.
Anyway, that last comment has put me to thinking ... since the 'defunct' process has been seen as a child of Mozilla, and a second one as a child of Evolution--which depends on Mozilla (yes?)--my suspicions then point me back to Mozilla being the probable culprit, and confirm I made a good choice when choosing to depend on Links--and Opera when feeling graphically inclined. ============================================================ From: "David H.

i noticed these weird process(es) myself the other day. I generally have
2 on my system it seems, one as a child process for mozilla, and the
other for evolution. Not sure where they from, but I'm pretty sure it
is a new occurrence.
