The solution replaces the offending code with a single upstart event emission. [Test Case] 0. Make sure there is a user session job with a dbus rule (eg unity-greeter-session-broadcast) 1. Install and run system-load-indicator (indicator-multiload) 2. Set the update interval to 100ms 3. Now watch the memory use of init --user increase by 100kb per second 4. Also open up upstart-monitor to see all the dbus messages being sent [Regression Potential] Some kind of hidden functionality depending on upstart events sent through D-Bus to the unity-panel-service may have become disconnected. Unlikely. [Other Info] The fix for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS was cherry picked from the Ubuntu "Vivid Vervet" dev release where it has been in regular use for some time without apparent regression.
