You never know what kind of conflicts and other interactions there might be between addons.

I know of no other way of having different sets of addons simultaneously (short of Walter’s idea of using different unix users). > Also, I run into this with other processes as well.

If it’s Seamonkey which you mentioned elsewhere, it may be the same problem/cause. You could possibly identify the perpetrating process by looking at its memory footprint. A process that is close to terminating would use much less memory than a fully running process with tabs. > It could even be a KDE bug. I don’t really think so. You click the X, the window manager notifies the program in the window to quit. The program destroys its X client, KWin processes that event and poof. Nothing more KDE can do (IMHO). > I know when I go to boot runlevel, I have to kill quite a few > processes that are pretty stubborn to kill. kill -15 usually doesn't > work so I end up using -9 to get it to die. If you go to *that* length (switch to boot and kill processes manually), why not do the *cough* Ubuntu way and simply reboot, since killing X means killing most of your environment of running applications anyway? -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me with any Facebook service.
