Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: beagle
The script in /etc/xdg/autostart/beagled-autostart.desktop launches the
beagle daemon with the "--replace" option. I don't know about the pros
and cons, but I wonder whether this option is appropriate. If an
instance of the daemon is already running for the user, why not let it
run? Why replace it? If the --replace option is omitted, and an
instance is already running, then the new beagled command will exit
quietly, leaving the previous instance in place.
The scenario where the --replace option is bad is where the user starts
more than one session. For example, joe goes home from work leaving his
gnome session running (with beagled running) and his screen locked. From
home, he logs into his machine at work, using nx (for example). This
starts a new gnome session, and replaces the old instance of beagled.
Before going to bed at home, he closes his nx session, which terminates
that instance of beagled. Next day, he goes to work and unlocks his
screen. Now no instance of beagled is running.
** Affects: beagle (Ubuntu)
