So, for some reason I had unity-greeter-session-broadcast installed. This has a user session dbus rule:
start on dbus BUS=system SIGNAL=StartUrl INTERFACE=com.canonical.Unity.Greeter.Broadcast OBJPATH=/com/canonical/Unity/Greeter/Broadcast which is the only dbus rule for my user session. When I removed unity- greeter-session-broadcast, I can no longer see all the dbus messages in upstart-monitor, and init --user doesn't seem to leak any memory. ** Description changed: Easiest way to see this: + 0. Make sure there is a user session job with a dbus rule (eg unity-greeter-session-broadcast) 1. Install and run system-load-indicator (indicator-multiload) 2. Set the update interval to 100ms 3. Now watch the memory use of init --user increase by 100kb per second 4. Also open up upstart-monitor to see all the dbus messages being sent (This might also be a bug in unity-panel-service or system-load- indicator...)
