High CPU usage after closing a program.

Okay, this is annoying. Doesn't happen on all programs, but too many.
When I close an application, in normal way, alt+f4/press x/file->quit the program quits, BUT, "ghost" application starts, which raises to 100% CPU usage. Then I have to close it via sigterm/sigkill. This has happened (atleast) with mplayer, nvidia-settings (which doesn't even start, but cpu usage raises to 100% anyway, and ghost application starts) and WoW thru Wine. Now, I have absolutely no idea what is going on, and I've found nothing on google.

I think it became after I upgraded to 2.6.29 kernel, it's 2.6.30 now and still the same.
A little help please sad

Re: High CPU usage after closing a program.

Which wm do you use and which version ? Which program is okay for you, because you said not all the problem works wrong?!

Re: High CPU usage after closing a program.

Openbox 3.4.7.2
This isn't acceptable for any programs, but I've noticed mplayer, nvidia-settings and WoW to do this, don't remember any other atm. I don't want any replacements for those I listed.
+It's even more weird nvidia-settings doesn't even start properly.

"It's even more weird nvidia-settings doesn't even start properly." What does it mean by you ?

Re: High CPU usage after closing a program.

The nvidia-settings starts, as it shows on system monitor (htop, etc) but I am not getting the window, and cpu usage raises to 100% instantly. Terminal output:

dfizzle@ohai ~$ nvidia-settings
    The valid values for 'XVideoTextureContrast' are in the range -1000 - 1000
    (inclusive).
    'XVideoTextureContrast' can use the following target types: X Screen.
    The valid values for 'XVideoTextureSaturation' are in the range -1000 -
    1000 (inclusive).
    'XVideoTextureSaturation' can use the following target types: X Screen.
