After some further investigation it is worth reporting that the problem was |
| 30 |
caused not by knotify, but by kdeinit! |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I exited X and stopped xdm. Only one knotify4 was left running as well as the |
| 33 |
kdeinit, both pegged at 100% and neither would go away after the X session had |
| 34 |
exited. I was able to kill -15 the knotify PID, but the kdeinit would not |
| 35 |
shift until I used kill -9. |
