Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: vino

On my up-to-date Jaunty system, vino-server seems to be stuck in a loop
of spawning a child only to have that child die immediately, at which
point it spawns a new one.  Notice:

$ while true; do ps -ef | grep vino | grep -v grep; done

This has the side effect of hammering the crap out of the dbus and the
CPU via Xorg:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND            
 7971 root      15  -5  311m 135m  37m R   23  4.9  26:34.78 Xorg               

Xorg's CPU will go down to nil once I stop the remote desktop feature.
