Hey guys,

Basically, sometimes I am unable to start terminals or other applications
because, according to the error message: "Maximum number of clients reached".

I checked xlsclients, and applications belonging to KDE (such as plasma and
kwin) appear several times, which leads me to think that some clients aren't
shut down or something similar.

This is quite annoying as it limits the number of applications and terminals I
can have open at the same time! I had to switch back to awesome window manager
because of this.

At the moment, xlsclients gives me a count of 13 clients, whereas with kde it
is above 100!

Cheers,
Hugo

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
For me it happens naturally after a few applications have been started (usualy
chromium, qtcreator and a few urxvt terminals)

Actual Results:  
I can't open any more applications

Expected Results:  
I should be able to open more applications.
