Maybe I should just reinstall and see if the problem goes away.  I feel
like I'm talking to myself.

  Duplicate processes started after Resume of amd64 bit

  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
