Bug ID: 426980
Summary: Switch User sessions aren't being cleaned up entirely
Product: ksmserver
Version: 5.12.8
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Keywords: regression
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR

Picture of the described behavior after switching user, then logging out
SUMMARY
When creating an additional session with KMenu -> Power/Session -> Switch User,
when I complete the other user's session and logout, I am returned to my main
login desktop (as expected). When I click Power/Session -> Switch User to log
in again as a different user, there is an "unused" icon appearing in the
choices. If I create additional sessions; logout; and create yet still newer
additional sessions and logout; eventually, the "Switch User" screen becomes
filled with these "unused" icons. Clicking on "unused" does nothing.
This is new behavior that began occuring in OpenSuse Leap 15.1 (which I use at
home), but is still present in Leap 15.2 (which I use at work).
Not a show stopper. After a few "New User" sessions and logouts, I just restart
the computer. But since this is new behavior, the only reason I report it is
because of the possibility of unreleased system resources/memory leak/etc.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Using autologin (which I do), go into your main, personal KDE desktop.
2. Click KMenu -> Power/Session -> Switch User, select New Session, then login
as a different user. Do some work, then log out.
3. If you then try to switch users again, there will be an "unused" icon next
to the "Switch User" icon.
OBSERVED RESULT
Extra icons each time I switch user, then log out, then attempt to switch
again.
EXPECTED RESULT
This only started happening with OpenSuse Leap 15.1; something has changed.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Again, this is not a critical bug, and should not be treated as such. But as I
said, there is a possibility that some system resources aren't being released
when the additional "new" users are logged out.
