Comment 10 for bug 1427785

Ok. I have no idea what I'm looking for. I see messages in a lot of the upstart log files that look like errors. See below.

How am I supposed to know what package this 'bug' belongs to? I'm not a linux systems guy. How would I figure that out? I'd be glad to classify this better if I knew how.
All I know is what I said in my first remark about this.
I've been using Ubuntu since 5.04 and have never seen duplicate processes get started like this before. They just keep building up until I start to see performance degradation. Then I reboot and all is well until they build up again.
Thanks for your help.

Here's part of the output of ps fax:
7011 ? Ss 0:00 \_ bash -c dbus-launch /usr/bin/docky >/dev/null -

 7026 ? Sl 0:02 \_ mono /usr/lib/docky/Docky.exe

I wonder why so many instances of Docky?

I'd appreciate any help I can get. If I need to reinstall because somethngs gotten screwed up, I'll do that.
