I did a little research already about how to kill zombies, and this only confirms what I found: namely, that there is no easy one-size-fits-all solution. One has to track them down and kill them and/or their parents. On one occasion, when I tried to kill dozens of zombie entries marked only w, I was actually killing the session. This was not a pleasant experience, as I still had open windows and unfinished work, then discover that I've shut down everything and lost that work. Well, like I said, they are annoyances, when I see that I have a lot of zombie processes, but they aren't actually doing anything either good or bad.
