Same problem here. I replaced /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver with a shell script that dumped ps details to a file. It appears to run five times in total - I'm guessing three times on boot, and another two times on login given the 21 second lag.

It's definitely being started by dbus. Any pointers on where to look next are welcome. ** Attachment added: "Process information" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/51545056/gnome-start.tgz -- unlock screen -dialog comes up twice https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/556255 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
