After disabling each of those notifications in the screen capture above one-by-one there was no effect on the creation of the kded zombies. Still every time I close the lid of the laptop I get a new zombie or two. However, there is a notification that occurs: "KDE Power Management System" "The screen is being locked"
After a few days of use opening and closing the screen on the laptop I must reboot or the groans and incessant calls for "braaaaaains!" from the zombies becomes too much to handle. ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/515138 Title: kded4 (lucid, amd64) defunct on latop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdelibs/+bug/515138/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
