Mark, |

Thanks for the suggestion. It wasn't actually dolphinrc but the |
| 30 |
~/.config/session dir that contained the problem. It appears that just |
| 31 |
during my normal day to day usage of the machine, I would open Dolphin, |
| 32 |
use it, then close it, rinse, repeat. The GUI would close down but some |
| 33 |
part of Dolphin would remain running. This resulted in, the time I |
| 34 |
finally spotted this, 28 instances of this "zombie" running. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
When the machine was shutdown at the end of the day, these 20 odd |
| 37 |
zombies would write a file into "session" for start up next time - which |
| 38 |
they in turn did the next time the machine started up, but this time as |
| 39 |
the full GUI + zombie. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Cleaning out session and killing all of the zombies fixed the problem. |
