Title:
  unity tries to kill all unity-panel-service processes on startup (even
  other users’)

Status in Unity:
  In Progress
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  The run_unity function in /usr/bin/unity tries to do:
          subprocess.Popen(["killall", "unity-panel-service"])
  If there are other users logged into the system, this spews “Operation not permitted” errors (unless you’re logging in as root, in which case it will probably actually kill every user’s panel process!).  The killall should at least be limited by username, and ideally by session as well.

  By the way, it’s rather sloppy that wait() isn’t called on that subprocess object; that results in a zombie killall process being leaked:
