Comment 37 for bug 31037

I get this, too.
Strange thing is, I don't know exactly what causes it - sometimes it happens, others it does not.
I wanted to prove that it was vino-server, so I installed the process accounting package (psacct or acct).
Attached is my lastcomm output - basically, this is just proof that the process keeps starting over and over.
What I notice is that there is one process of vino-server with no parameters, and the other, with the -sm-config-prefix, keeps getting created over and over...

A theory:
  Even though I DISABLED Remote-desktop in the preferences, a vino-server process (without the -sm...) keeps coming back and listening on port 5900. Can it be that gnome-session has remembered this application and wants to keep it alive? When the second process is spawned, it can not list on 5900, tries 5901 and dies (only to be reincarnated over and over).
