After some further investigation it is worth reporting that the problem was
caused not by knotify, but by kdeinit!
I exited X and stopped xdm. Only one knotify4 was left running as well as the
kdeinit, both pegged at 100% and neither would go away after the X session had
exited. I was able to kill -15 the knotify PID, but the kdeinit would not
shift until I used kill -9.
