The only work-around I can currently see, is that before restarting the GUI, is that you kill the running instance (if there is one running). As for the reason why you get this I have no clue :-(

If I reconnect to the server within a short amount of time, there is only 1 process and there is no pop-up message. If I go to the server after a long time, say 6+ hours, then the pop-up appears and yes, there are 2 processes running. As soon as I say [ok] to the dialog, the 2nd process goes away.
