Title:
  deja-dup-monitor process survives after logout

Status in Déjà Dup Backup Tool:
  New
Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This seems to be a new symptom since quantal.  Maybe gnome-session
  changed some behavior?

  When gnome-session exits in quantal, it doesn't explicitly kill the
  processes it spawned.  Instead it relies on the processes noticing
  that the dbus session is gone and exit.

  deja-dup-monitor does not notice this.  So you will accumulate one new
  process every time you log out and back in.  This can actually be
  presented to the user as an error if the old processes try to kick off
  a backup, and the deja-dup process will not be able to claim a bus
  name, so it thinks (erroneously, but that's a separate bug) that an
  existing backup is happening, and throws up a dialog like "Another
  backup process is already running".

  To reproduce, simply log in, wait a few minutes, run:
  ps aux | grep deja-dup-monitor
  To make sure it started, then log out and back in.  After another few 
minutes, if you run the ps command again, you should see two.

  A good fix would be to watch when the dbus session exits and exit with
  it.
