Hi all,
My desktop machine is up to date ~amd64 along with KDE. A few days ago
I think I had, amongst others, a Dolphin update. Now when I turn on the
machine and log into KDE, I find that I have, for example the login I
did to write this email, 15 instances, hence the pod pun, of Dolphin
running. I have not tried to "customise" Dolphin or set anything to
autostart in the last couple of days.
Has any one got any ideas as to why this would be happening? I've done
some Googling and will do some more but I can't find anything.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts,
Andrew

I also have experienced something like it. In my case it was Wireshark
coming up after I only launched it once. It is probably KDE’s session
management getting into your way. Unfortunately I haven’t found a place
where to configure the session. There’s probably a file in ~/.config or
~/.local about that. As a quick remedy I switched to empty session on
startup (open system settings and look for session).

Whoopsie, I’m reading up on the list top to bottom and overlooked that your
question was already answered. But it’s good to know my assumption was right
at least. :)

Did you try adding Wireshark to the Don't restore these applications list
in System Settings->Startup and Shutdown->Desktop Session?

Ha, the problem is back, dolphins everywhere. The problem seems to be,
for me at least, that when I close Dolphin after doing a bit of
file/folder stuff that the GUI shuts down but some zombie part remains.
Just now, when I fired the machine up, I had three instances of Dolphin
running. I closed all three, little red button top right hand corner and
did a:
ps -A | grep dolphin | wc -l
Sure enough 3 zombies. Open Dolphin, do some "stuff", close Dolphin, do
the "ps" command above and I' ve now got 4 zombies. Do this a couple of
more times and I now have 8 - 9 zombies.
Clean out ~/.config/session, ie it's now empty, and shut the machine
down. Restart machine and hey presto, 8 - 9 Dolphins up and running and
~/.config/session contains 8 - 9 Dolphin "restart config", or whatever
they are called, files.
I think it is time to head over to some KDE forum and ask questions there.

Being that you're most probably running Gentoo I would ask what your
flag/build options might be? If you're like so many people here you
probably aren't running a completely stable build. Possibly some flag
is contributing to this problem? In a standard KDE forum where most
folks will (like me) just be running a standard distro (like me - Kubuntu)
they will (like me) tell you they don't see the problem...
