I'm using Fedora Core 2 with kde 3.3.0-1.0.2.kde and my gkrellm

monitor is showing four users, except that this is a stand-alone and not
connected to any network [except the internet], and I'm the only user.
So how do I find out what these other processes are, and then how do I kill
them please?

Sharon:
I have experienced the same symptoms you describe, although I don't see
it as often now. IIRC when I logged out as my local user, and logged in
as root, I would regularly see two processes related to bonobo showing
up. I wasn't able to kill them without rebooting -- which was annoying,
as was the alternative: trying to put up with an incorrect number of
users on my GKrellm monitor! There was an update related to bonobo about
a week or so ago that seemed to have helped the situation.
Try logging out as your user, and log back in as root. Do a ps -ef and
see what processes are showing up as the logged out user.
See if my postings related to what I describe are what you are seeing
yourself. There may be some bug happening that we should put in
bugzilla. I never saw this happening in FC1.

and this post asking if the cause may be related to X'ing out of the
terminal rather than 'exiting' out of the terminal:
