Bug Description
I've been trying to track down processes that keep the system busy and found that when running virt-manager virt-manager.py is being exec'd every second from the "init --user" process:
19:19:33 fork: parent pid 3037 (init --user)
19:19:33 -> child pid 22112 (python /usr/share/
19:19:33 exit: 0 pid 22112 (python /usr/share/
19:19:34 fork: parent pid 3037 (init --user)
19:19:34 -> child pid 22113 (python /usr/share/
19:19:34 exit: 0 pid 22113 (python /usr/share/
19:19:35 fork: parent pid 3037 (init --user)
19:19:35 -> child pid 22114 (python /usr/share/
19:19:35 exit: 0 pid 22114 (python /usr/share/
19:19:36 fork: parent pid 3037 (init --user)
19:19:36 -> child pid 22115 (python /usr/share/
19:19:36 exit: 0 pid 22115 (python /usr/share/
19:19:37 fork: parent pid 3037 (init --user)
19:19:37 -> child pid 22116 (python /usr/share/
19:19:37 exit: 0 pid 22116 (python /usr/share/
19:19:38 fork: parent pid 3037 (init --user)
19:19:38 -> child pid 22117 (python /usr/share/
19:19:38 exit: 0 pid 22117 (python /usr/share/
The script seems to be executing very quickly and terminating almost immediately. However, is it really necessary for this python script to be exec'd every second? It seems a little bit over the top.

Thanks for reporting this bug.
I could be missing it, but don't see anything in the code that would be doing this. I also didn't see it happening under strace. I assume this is happening under unity in trusty? How exactly are you starting virt-manager? Do you have anything under ~/.init or ~/.local/ share/applicati ons relating to virt-manager?
