There seems to be confusion in the location where PID files are to be
placed.

For example, in /var/run are many PID files and these show up in
'systems settings' as currently 'running'.

However, many PID files are contained in directories off of /var/run   such as  
vsftpd/. On my 8.04 Hardy system, 
vsftpd is running but Systems Services shows it is NOT running.  Same for 
avahi-daemon which is also contained within a directory off /var/run.

So yes, the Systems Settings is broken but it may be due to the
placement of the PID files.
