ok! (i think) i understand. but what i don't understand is:

childpid=fork()
   ... some code ...
if (childpid != 0)
   ... some code ...
else if ((childpid=fork())) (a second fork??)
   ... more code ...

if i change it to the wrong code resp. if((childpid == fork())) the
zombie disappears.

but this doesn't matter. i'm sure i that's to deep for my knowledge. :-)

by the way: in the script-output from one build i've seen that libbonobo
set BONOBO_ACTIVATION_LOCALEDIR to /usr/local/lib/locale - attached a patch.
