leftover fam and esd processes?

I logged in on a local X-11 session as a normal user, surfed the web,
logged out, went to a text console, logged in as an admin user and ran
ps aux. Two processes are left from the normal user that was logged out
-- one was fam, and the other was /usr/bin/esd -terminate. These
processes remained until I kill them. (I killed fam first, which was
robably the wrong order.)
(And it occurs to me that fam should be running as /usr/bin/fam, not as
fam.)
Is there any particular reason these processes should end up left over
after logging out? I logged in as a different normal user, surfed (but
did not go to /. this time) and logged out, and there were no leftovers.
I'm being a little paranoid, because I haven't updated firefox past
pre-1.0, and I haven't upgraded JRE since the sandbox issue was made
public. Also, while I was surfing in the session that had the leftovers,
I lost all my bookmarks. (I hadn't logged in on that account for several
days.) Does anyone have any idea whether I should be worried?
