Sl Mar04 0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver --no-daemon The symptoms appear the same as bug #556255, but this is on Trusty. This has been happening off and on for a couple months. Nothing in ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session/, not listed in ~/.config/autostart, and nothing in ~/.config/upstart/. I do have this in /etc/xdg/autostart/: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 518 Feb 9 2013 gnome-screensaver.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 466 Mar 30 2010 gnome-screensaver.desktop.dpkg-old but as you can see, the timestamp on gnome-screensaver.desktop is quite old and this only started happening in the last couple of months. Perhaps this is related to the supposed upstart race in bug #1271591?
