Public bug reported:

We have been advising distros put zeitgeist-datahub into the autostart
section for the sessions. This is better in theory because this way we
only start a native daemon on login and can defer the launching of the
heavier Python process zeitgeist-daemon.

Unfortunately zeitgeist-datahub does DBus activation of the zeitgeist-
daemon on startup so we really don't get the benefits we wanted.
Bootcharts from Ubuntu 11.04 indicates that ZG eats about 1s on the
login time and I don't think that is acceptable for ZG in the longer
run. That is - no catastrophe for 11.04, but we should fix this.

(a related issue seems to be that the dbus activated zeitgeist-daemon
seems to launch another datahub instance that then immediately becomes a
zombie... ? :-/)
