    This is an unsupported assumption; it may have nothing to do with the SSH
    X forwarding channel. Perhaps your X client is forking some other
    processes which do not close their std{in,out,err}. In fact, since you
    mentioned KOrganizer, that seems quite likely since both KDE and GNOME
    components tend to start up various background processes which do not
    always terminate when the user-visible applications do.
