Bug still exists on Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS, Kernel 4.14.140. Found when looking for what was causing xrandr to reset screens to full brightness and gamma. Even if `colord` isn't culprit, life is easier with less spam in journalctl.
Ignore extra `s` in `fails` below (line wrap off) for bug report: $ journalctl | grep "failed to get session \[pid" Aug 24 08:43:54 alien colord[1366]: (colord:1366): Cd-WARNING **: fails Aug 24 08:43:54 alien colord[1366]: (colord:1366): Cd-WARNING **: fails Aug 25 07:41:51 alien colord[1366]: (colord:1366): Cd-WARNING **: fails Aug 25 07:41:51 alien colord[1366]: (colord:1366): Cd-WARNING **: fails ..
