Dear Xfce Maintainers,<br>
I have troubles running xfce4-dict under Debian 5.0 when using
spelling with aspell: aspell processes becomes zombie. Please consider
how I should deal with it to prevent zombie processes appear.<br>
<br>
Following is a list of processes and installed versions. If you
need more details please ask me.<br>
