After few login/logouts you can notice that amount of running pam-panel-icon and pam-timestamps processes, grows up.These comes from the usermode package.Anyways this can be noticed only under xfce.

Sometimes there is a start race condition between stuff from /autostart and from saved last session. Simple fix would be to blacklist for session saving apps that are cast from /autostart.

Uh, if you have something saved in the session and in autostart, it's gonna get started more than once.  That's just how it is.  Pick one method of starting it, not both.
Comment 4 Stephan Arts editbugs 2009-02-02 23:00:43 CET
as per last comment of brian, issue does not exist.
Comment 5 Tomasz Paweł Gajc 2009-02-03 13:44:32 CET
Wait a minute... issue DOES exist!

For example: i created new user, log in and i set "Restart Style" for pam-panel-icon to never, didn't hit the button save session nor auto save session checkbox is ticked, and after a logout/login, "Restart Style" is set back to "if running". If i log in and log out few times, let's say 2 or 3 i got two pam-panel-icon prcesses.


This does NOT occurs under KDE/GNOME.

Maybe, maybe not.

Yeah, that's normal.  When an app connects to the session manager, it's free to set its restart style to whatever it wants.  Nothing I can do about that.

Well, then please provide a patch to fix this.  I don't care enough to install Mandriva to figure this out.
