leaves stale lockfiles on unclean shutdown

[c]

Binary package hint: keepassx

OS: Ubuntu 10.04 x64
FileSystem type: ext4
KeePassX 0.4.3

1. Open a password DB with KeePassX
2. Shutdown the computer using "Shutdown" button in the Ubuntu menu
3. Open the password DB with KeePassX after reboot. KeePassX report that the file is locked. (expected behaviour: not locked)

well, on shutdown keepassx was not closed properly was killed
forcefully. the behavior described matches exactly what I would expect.

what's the problem now?

It is not possible to clean up and close the database automatically when the OS shutdown?

if the password db is shared on a network folder, it may be a problem.

Thank you for reporting this bug.

I have also noticed this phenomenon. However, the file is easily unlocked via typing in the master password. Seems a wishlist issue.

Confirmed by rusivi1. I disagree that it's expected behaviour, at least not under GNOME nor KDE - both provide interface for applications to learn about shutdown and close properly.

This used to work properly (well over a year ago).
It is a multi-distro issue, it happens in Arch for sure & I think in Suse as well.
