FWIW, if you investigate a little I think you'd find that for
every
user that logs-in for a GUI session there will be about 9+ processes
that are left running and remain running. It seems these processes
are then reused on subsequent logins by the same uid. I suppose this
may be done to speed-up subsequent logins.
I had wondered about that, but I'd find that usually when I log out,
that all my processes eventually disappear. Virtually straight away.
Sometimes, things would loiter around, and they'd prevent you from
logging back in. With things the login attempt would think you're
still logged in, or the desktop would never finish drawing up because
it was waiting for stalled files that never closed when you first
logged out, or there'd be no sound because pulseaudio had wedged.
