Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: indicator-weather
Failed to start as pid file already exists from last boot--and the pid
is in use--but for /usr/bin/unity-window-decorator not indicator-
weather. I don't think the code tries to check that the pid refers to
indicator-weather.
Is this check really necessary or should we rely on xdg only to start it
once for a particular X session and that it not be defined in the gnome-
conf as a program to start automatically? I wonder if the earlier
reports this addressed were artifacts of the evolution of the program
rather than a problem that should be addressed with a lock.
To address this as-is, perhaps comparing the indicator-weather.pid's
creation time to the creation time of /tmp would work, or make the file
/tmp/indicator-weather-USERID.pid?
Just some ideas. Thanks again.
