Bug#614682: Trouble with settings daemons at startup

[Cyril Brulebois]

Hi,

Josselin Mouette <joss at debian.org> (09/04/2011):
> The upstream bug linked here ^ explains what is happening. It is not

> daemon is still running, while actually it is not.

since you kind of know what's happening, I'd appreciate if you could
open a bug upstream directly:
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ product=xorg, component=Server/general

(I have neither a SSD or a fast enough machine to reproduce this.)
