Hi,

doesn't this problem go away when you reboot? Or re-login?

If you want to find out about the running processes, you can open a
terminal and try one these commands:

pstree -pu
ps -aux
top (quit top with the "q" key)

You can also "kill" zombie processes from within the system monitor or
via the (terminal) command "kill -9 number", where number is the id of
the process.

HTH,
Guido
