Hi, My wife ran into a problem this evening that required I do a reboot. She runs Gnome. Sometimes something about her setup goes haywire and she loses all her desktop icons and her wallpaper. In the past I've found that if we log her out and then in the console kill all processes left running with her account as the owner that she can then log back in and use Gnome correctly.
This evening one of these processes was unkillable. I tried kill -15 PID kill -9 PID killall -9 process_name but none worked. To make forward progress I just rebooted. Is there some other way I could have tried killing this process? Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
