Comment 1 for bug 138331

hi,

under normal usage trackerd should exit when dbus session bus closes down (which it should do when you logout as it is user specific)

dbus-session bus should be started after X login and exit when logged out - is this the case?

Another potential problem is that lastest trackerd pauses when it detects external disk activity to minimise slowdown of other apps so it's possible trackerd is sleeping instead of exiting. I will make sure it wont pause when exiting but cant say if that fixes your problem (if you did not have this problem with previous version of tracker then it may well be the case)
