Public bug reported:
When I log into my user session (type in my password on the login prompt
after boot), Chromium auto-starts, and two instances of its background
process automatically open: per the attached image, two Chromium icons
appear in the top bar. Also, an instance of the browser appears in the
middle of the screen.
When this happens, I get an inconsistent browsing experince in Chromium,
where it is randomly unable to connect to web sites or download
components referenced by web pages (e.g., CSS files, JS files, etc.).
I can fix by closing the browser and also both the background sessions,
then restarting Chromium.
I have never configured Chromium to start up when I log into my session.
This has happened without my explicit permission or consent.
If I go to Session and Startup's Application Autostart tab, Chromium
appears in the list and is checked. I did not configure this.
Expected behavior: No part of Chromium opens at all, not even a
background process, until I launch the browser for the first time.
I am using a copy of Xubuntu 13.04 that was upgraded from Xubuntu 12.10.
This problem was happening for several weeks back with Xubuntu 12.10,
too.
