I hit that recently with gwibber. Thought maybe it could be a good
alternative to the difficult Facebook website ... but then I quit
it, or at least told it to quit, and later found random gwibber
windows popping up.

The result was that it taught me not to use gwibber for anything,
because running it even to try it out means a hassle later when I
have to run ps to find it and kill it.
