---------------------------------

The outstanding ones seem to be /usb/bin/pulseaudio --start

and

/usb/bin/libexec/pulse/gconf-helper

After about a week, there were over 500 of these processes after everyone had logged off.

But, there is also a lot of random gnome desktop processes that seem to live forever as well.

I'll send you capture of the ps aux output from yesterday morning before anybody had logged in.

Thanks,

Sean
