[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#399506: many copies of dbus-daemon accumulate

[Greg Kochanski]

Package: dbus
Version: 0.94-2
Severity: normal


Recently, I have been using ctrl-alt-del to terminate the X-server
and forcibly log people out who left their screens locked.
Since then, I have noticed many copies of dbus-daemon
running (looking via ps).   There are 31 running at the moment.

I suspect that dbus ignores the terminate signal that the
X-server sends, or perhaps it doesn't get one.     Whatever
happens, it needs some mechanism to be terminated.

Possibly it should detect when there are other copies running?
