I still think that it may be related to e-d-s. The bug only occurs for me when you are using evolution, having set up address-books. E-d-s keeps running then alongside with b-a-s.
At the moment it seems like a bug in libecalbackendcontacts.so prevents closing connection to address-books, which prevents shutting down b-a-s (see comments on Bug #90258 and the according upstream bug-report). -- bonobo-activation-server doesn't exit after logout, prevents panel applets from running on new login https://launchpad.net/bugs/90923 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
