thing.  I am running trunk and have observed for the past 2-4 weeks that the
frontend no longer exits cleanly.  I use the menu to exit, which used to
work fine.  Now I end up with several (2-3) children of the frontend hanging
around.  One is sitting on a "futex" wait.  I end up having to do a #killall
frontend to get everything gone so that gdm can restart.

Others see this behavior?
