Thanks. I tracked it down and it's always xbindkeys:

mythtv    3158  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    11:55   0:00
[xbindkeys] <defunct>
mythtv    3159  2.0  5.4  81512 13976 ?        SLl  11:55   0:00 mythwelcome
mythtv    3161  0.0  0.3   4480   860 ?        S    11:55   0:00 xbindkeys

I have one that says defunct (the zombie) and one normal. Does anyone
know whay this might be?

Regards,
Phill
