They are casualties, not causes. rsyslogd runs later in the sequence so
gets shut down after sendsigs finishes. You also still get the message
at shutdown when both are not running beforehand.

Ah! Start gnome-terminal here, kill gnome-helper-pty with -9 and there
is no restarting of it - just a defunct process, a zombie. Is there
still a gnome-pty-helper process running when you log out of the DE? Do
you still get the problem message from sendsigs when you shutdown from
a terminal after logging out?
