I noticed some obnoxious-looking processes in my system: $ ps axf (...) 367 ? S 0:00 dbus-launch --autolaunch 899f609d1c39e4d202c179a7580e4b49 --binary-syntax --close-stderr 368 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session 409 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/notification-daemon 411 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/at-spi-bus-launcher 415 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --config-file=/usr/share/defaults/at-spi2/accessibility.conf --nofork --print-address 3 417 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/at-spi2-registryd --use-gnome-session 451 ? S 0:00 /usr/libexec/gconfd-2
I don't use a DE, just plain openbox. I had a few xterms running and also Opera, no other graphical app. The above processes appeared after Opera was launched. Why oh why should there be a process "at-spi2-registryd --use-gnome-session"? gnome-session?! I don't even have gnome installed. On a related note, the session logs have this gem: ERROR:object_proxy.cc(583)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.UPower.GetDisplayDevice: object_path= /org/freedesktop/UPower: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.UPower was not provided by any .service files Why should this be considered an error? I don't have upower installed. I don't want upower. I understand this is not the kind of stuff most users care about. Just wondering whether somebody else is somewhat bothered by this. Jorge Almeida
