I have observed that kded4 and nepomukserver sometimes don't terminate
after logging out of KDE. At the next login, I get another copy of each,
and so they accumulate. It's so bad that I added a script to
~/.kde4/shutdown to "kill -9" them if they are still running 15 seconds
after logging out.

Both processes keep open file descriptors to ~/.xsession-errors, so they
would indeed prevent /home from unmounting.
