Comment 67 for bug 553557

I'm running a fairly new kubuntu 10.04 installation on a new netbook, and I get thousands of defunct kded4 processes. I rebooted about 4 hours ago and just now ran "ps aux | grep kded4 | wc" which shows 1,561 lines. My /home directory is encrypted. kde is version 4.4.2, and kernel is 2.6.32-24
