Michael:

I've posted several similar queries related to obviously inactive users. 
Short of a reboot, there wasn't much I could do, though the new 
libbonobo update has helped somewhat. Try this: log out as michael, log 
in as root, and then open a terminal and type ps -ef. Note what 
processes are being run by the michael user, even after logging out.

When you close out a terminal, are you typing "exit" or clicking on the 
X in the window? This post from me asks if there is an issue in FC2 
related to X'ing out of a terminal window:

Did you notice this happening in FC1? I didn't -- I only see it on my 
FC2 machine.
