synergyc crashes on startup, points to deleted bug?

[Rachel Greenham]

On Ubuntu Saucy, just-updated. synergyc is set to start up in Startup Applications on login; login is set to automatic (so I don't need a keyboard on that machine because synergy...) After that update and reboot (and after previous reboots), and on login, I keep getting a dialog saying synergyc has crashed (with a Date field indicating it just happened, not a stale crash report). But it's also working at that point as I am immediately able to interact with that machine from the keyboard/mouse on the other one, and ps aux shows it running, with the commandline given in startup applications.

When I try to report the crash, it gives the dialog that the bug was already reported, and to check the bug shown in the browser. The browsertries to open https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1200273, and gets a 404. That bug in the URL is #1200273 (just repeated so it makes a link in this report). This does indeed appear to be missing from launchpad.

Anyway, attached is the .crash file left behind in /var/crash.

It's a mystery why it crashes and yet keeps running. I can't see where I might be launching two instances. I had been playing with trying to get it to launch in lightdm instead of on session startup but that wasn't working well, so I deleted that line from /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf again. AFAIK it's just in startup applications as /usr/bin/synergyc <hostname>
