I managed to hang up my KDE logout to check the cause. The
process is "startkde", the u option to ps causes the program
name to be truncated:
#ps ax | grep Z
5723 ? Zs 0:00 [startkde] <defunct>
Pstree shows that startkde is a child of gdm-binary:
init-+-/usr/bin/sealer
|-acpid
|-apcupsd---{apcupsd}
|-atd
|-auditd-+-audispd---{audispd}
| `-{auditd}
|-console-kit-dae---61*[{console-kit-dae}]
|-crond
|-cupsd
|-2*[dbus-daemon---{dbus-daemon}]
|-dbus-launch
|-denyhosts.py
|-gdm-binary---gdm-binary-+-X
| `-startkde
...
I think that explains why killing X doesn't help, gdm-binary is
wedged and not wait()ing for its dead child processes.
