Public bug reported:
This concerns geoclue-2.0 2.5.6-0ubuntu1 in Ubuntu focal.
I am using the Xfce desktop. When a user logs in, a
/usr/libexec/geoclue-2.0/demos/agent process is started.
However, when the user logs out, and the associated "systemd --user"
instance is killed, the geoclue process remains---apparently because it
is running outside of the process group in which all the other session-
related processes were in.
Not only does this prevent the process from being cleaned up correctly,
if the user logs in again, *another* geoclue process starts up. And when
they log out, and everything else gets cleaned up... *two* useless
geoclue processes remain. Repeat ad infinitum.
** Affects: geoclue-2.0 (Ubuntu)
