[gentoo-user] Seamonkey/Firefox not closing processes

[Dale]

Howdy,

I noticed something over the past week or so that is a bit odd.  I
started using multiple sessions for Seamonkey and Firefox.  I moderate a
website and use Firefox for it but I am generally just plain old me.  I
use a separate session when I need to moderate something.  I also
started using Seamonkey in a similar way.  I have one session for my
regular stuff and a separate session for watching videos and such. 
Helps me to keep bookmarks separate too.  This has worked great until a
week or so ago. 

I notice that now if I close a Firefox session or even close both
sessions, Firefox is still running as a process.  If I try to open it
again, I get the warning that the session is already running, even tho I
closed it and it is gone.  I get the same thing from both Seamonkey and
Firefox.  I don't recall any upgrade that started this, although it
could be one that did it.  I also don't know what is actually supposed
to kill those processes.  I use KDE4 of course and here is a list of
other info below.  I can confirm they are running with ps aux | grep
<seamonkey or firefox> so it is detecting it correctly. 

root@fireball / # emerge -pv kdelibs firefox seamonkey xorg-server

Is this a bug or some setting I missed somewhere?  If a bug, whose
package should I file it against? 

Also, when I close one and restart, I have to kill the process that is
still running.  Is there anyway to tell what process goes with which
session? 

Thanks much.

Did a emerge -e world, with lvm2 failing to recompile, and the issues
seems to be fixed.  I have closed a few times with no problems
restarting the browsers.  So, something must have been out of sync
somehow and I don't know of any way to find out what it was. 

Thanks.
