[zim 0.28] external app process opened from within Zim remains open after closing the program

[pvb]

Zim version 0.28 on Ubuntu 9.04. The zim -D command does not give me the gtk version nor any relevant message.

When after opening e.g. an image with GIMP the program is closed the process remains open (status Zombie). Every subsequent use of GIMP opens another process that remains open with zombie status after closing the program (see attached screenshot of the system monitor). In some cases it seems to block the use of GIMP outside Zim, but I can't consistently duplicate that part of the error.

Rgds,

Paulo

The python branch handles child processes using the glib library and does no longer leave zombies

Re-opened this one to keep track of this issue in perl branch

[Jaap Karssenberg (jaap.karssenberg)]

Set this bug to "won't fix" since zim version 0.28 is outdated and no one is working on the perl version anymore. I believe this issue is not present in the current version of zim (0.4x) if it is please open a new report.
