The one thing I will note about tracer is that sometimes it tells you that you 
should
logout/login.  However, there are some user processes that by default persist 
across
logouts/logins.  If those processes are ones that will result in unstable 
behavior
they will not be restarted.  I would venture to say that a certain number of 
people
wouldn't re-run tracer to verify.

FWIW, I've also added "KillUserProcesses=yes" to my logind.conf to eliminate 
those
persistent processes.
