[SOLVED] KDE pytho zombie after today's updates

[cluster]

after today's updates, I have noticed a python3 zombie process is present:

[FONT=monospace]ps ax -o s,pid,comm,ppid | grep '^Z'
[/FONT][FONT=monospace][COLOR=#FF5454][B]Z[/B][/COLOR]  2742 pytho <defunct>  2684
[/FONT]

If I try to kill the ppid Kwin crashes & shuts down in bash mode ...
so i have killed the ppid from there but after a reboot a new pytho zombie process is running

### edit ###
same problem occurs with another KDE neon system (girlfriend) after the update ... she does not like the zombie ;-)

[FONT=monospace]user     2802  0.0  0.0      0     0 ? Z    18:22   0:00 [python3] <defunct>

(Just in case you don't know this.) In principle, a zombie process is just an entry in the process table, only existing to hold the process exit code. Annoying, but nothing runs or uses memory.

for my worstation there is no problem w/ the zombie process ... but my DAW now produces many xruns in jackd (cadence)

hmm, maybe when multiple monitors are used due to the new monitor features?
for another system with a single monitor, the problem does not occur ...

Thank you guys for the quick supply of the bug fixes & for the updated live ISO which helped me a lot to determine the zombie problem!
Kscreen worked perfectly after the update but the zombie was still present ...
I found out that the reason was due to a extra (outdated) config file from Cadence which was integrated in the X11 folder.
after removing the file everything works fine without any zombies ;-)
