Description:
When awesome is started with a display manager like lightdm, then after logout/login or after an awesome restart, many processes like gvfsd and others are created multiple times.

Additional info:
The problem gets solved if I edit the file `/usr/share/xsessions/awesome.desktop` and change the line `Exec=awesome` to `Exec=dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session awesome`. I'm not sure if this is an upstream bug or if awesome is supposed to get started this way.


Steps to reproduce:
Install awesome. Start awesome with a display manager like lightdm. Restart awesome or logout/login and watch processes like gvfsd, gnome-keyring-daemon get multiplied each time.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  User requested: I can't reproduce this anymore. Probably I had something at my startup file that was causing multiple processes to be spawned. If you cannot reproduce this too, then feel free to close it.
