In repeat my answer again. A zombie process is just a process table entry and a process which is dead quite some time ago. so $ kill -9 $pid will not work.
i have faced this problem with apps like kppp. As known, kppp needs root access to run. When it dies (due to line fault or something) on a non-root desktop, it becomes a zombie. The zombie on the desktop can be killed with the skull. But trying to run kppp again will not work until i go to .kde/share/apps/kppp and rm kppp.pid.
