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?

It's almost a year ago since i requested more info.. I'm closing this bug as
your the only reported. It might be that your version of dbus-launch was
accidentally not compiled against X11 libaries causing it to not notice the X
session went away
Feel free to reopen if your still seeing this problem
