Ok.  I have no idea what I'm looking for.  I see messages in a lot of
the upstart log files that look like errors. See below.

How am I supposed to know what package this 'bug' belongs to?  I'm not a linux systems guy.  How would I figure that out?  I'd be glad to classify this better if I knew how.
All I know is what I said in my first remark about this.
I've been using Ubuntu since 5.04 and have never seen duplicate processes get started like this before.  They just keep building up until I start to see performance degradation.  Then I reboot and all is well until they build up again.
Thanks for your help.

Here's part of the output of ps fax:

 7026 ?        Sl     0:02      \_ mono /usr/lib/docky/Docky.exe

I wonder why so many instances of Docky?

I'd appreciate any help I can get.  If I need to reinstall because
somethngs gotten screwed up, I'll do that.

Title:
  Duplicate processes started after Resume of amd64 bit

Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  $ uname -a
  Linux ajsc855 3.13.0-46-generic #76-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 26 18:52:13 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  $ cat /etc/lsb-release
  DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
  DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
  DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
  DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS"

  Toshiba Satellite C855,  4GB RAM, 720GB HD

  I typically run Thunderbird, Firefox, a terminal or two, Gthumb, Gimp,
  Qcad, Gedit, Libreoffice, Inkscape, Document Viewer and occasionally
  Virtualbox.

  I just noticed this a couple of weeks ago, so I am guessing a recent
  update started it.

  It seems to me that there are quite a few duplicate copies of some
  processes populating memory after suspending/resuming a session for a
  few days.  Namely, dbus-daemon, gvfsd and gconfd-2.  The more I
  suspend/resume the session, the more of these processes appear.  After
  a while they start using up a significant amount of memory and system
  response seems to slow down.

  Logging out and back in did not alleviate the problem. Rebooting did.
  But, I will have to reboot again in a week to free up the memory used
  by these duplicate processes.

  The example session used to get the following results was probably
  well over a week in use.

  Before rebooting:
  $ ps -ef >prereboot.txt
  $ grep -i dbus-daemon <prereboot.txt|wc -l
  40
  $ grep -i gvfsd <prereboot.txt|wc -l
  78
  $ grep -i gconfd-2 <prereboot.txt|wc -l
  37

  After rebooting:
  $ ps -ef >postreboot.txt
  $ grep -i dbus-daemon <postreboot.txt|wc -l
  4
  $ grep -i gvfsd <postreboot.txt|wc -l
  5
  $ grep -i gconfd-2 <postreboot.txt|wc -l
  1
