Hi,
I just discovered that, at least some, Qt based homescreen widgets do not terminate properly but instead "stay alive" as zombies.
So far I tried my own widget (binaryclock) and the example widget (qt4-homescreen-example) from extras devel.
Steps to reproduce are simply as follows:
1. apt-get install qt4-homescreen-example
2. switch to desktop and check if the "Hello World" widget is there
2.a) in case the widget is not there just add it as usual
3. stop the widget
4. open an xterm and type "ps -el | grep homescreen"
The actual outcome is that you see the just stopped widget as zombie.
Ususally, I'd expect the widget to terminate properly.
I noticed a commit in
http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-labs/maemo5-homescreen
which basically states that it takes care of zombies.
My question: is this still a bug or is there something special to take care of in order to avoid this odd behavior?
