           Summary: Digikam does not quit gracefully
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.3.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Import
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: tnemeth at free.fr


Version:           1.3.0 (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

Digikam keeps running after beeing closed in a infinite loop waiting for some
event.

$ ps aux | grep digikam
...
thomas   16157  2.2  8.5 950500 175980 ?       Sl   19:13   0:07
/usr/bin/digikam -caption digiKam -icon digikam
...

With :
       S    Interruptible sleep (waiting for an event to complete)
       l    is multi-threaded (using CLONE_THREAD, like NPTL pthreads do)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Launch digikam, look at some photographs, quit it and have a look at the
process table.

Actual Results:  
thomas   16157  2.2  8.5 950500 175980 ?       Sl   19:13   0:07
/usr/bin/digikam -caption digiKam -icon digikam


Expected Results:  
Nothing should appear.

I don't know if it's a wanted feature, but it keeps the action "Download Photos
With Digikam" from properly beeing executed.

I discovered that when trying to download my photographs and it didn't worked.
I
then had a look at the action menu to know how digikam was launched: that gave
me the idea to have a look at the process table. There was 3 instance of
digikam
running. When I killed the 3 instances with SIGTERM (does digikam handle this
signal ?) I could use the action menu normally.

But still the new instance was still running after I quit the application.
