I'm not having trouble anymore since removing it. The question still remains then, why does gtk-qt-engine cause trouble on Arch and not on Ubuntu/Fedora?

In my case, this isn't a lock file issue. As I explained in my email that triggered this thread, the firefox process does in fact continue running after I attempt to close firefox. It'll run (consuming very little resources) for as long as it takes (minutes, hours, whatever) for me to decide to launch firefox again.

To whomever might have insight into what's happening, here is what happens if I attach to the running firefox process after closing firefox. I can also attach a trace of firefox from the beginning of operation if that would help. If this is better meant to be included as a bug report, I can certainly do that but I fear it'll be rejected as "works for me" by a developer as it seems it only affects some of us. # ps -ef | grep -i firefox tgelter 4688 4329 2 08:40 ?00:01:23 /usr/bin/firefox root ~ # strace -p 4688 Process 4688 attached - interrupt to quit futex(0x7fea3538c0d0, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2, NULL ^C Process 4688 detached signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I can confirm this problem using "normal" (not from kdemod) KDE 4 from the repos on a ThinkPad X61s with onboard Intel graphics (i.e. no proprietary driver) and a workstation as well (both running with x86_64). Up to now I have never searched for a real solution to this one because I'm hardly running no instance of firefox and hence this glitch does not appear very frequently in my scenario. However, it would be nice if someone had figured out a fix... :-) Cheers, Jonas
