Description of problem: gdm's gnome session starts gvfsd (and friends) and goa-daemon as user "gdm" - and I think they are not necessary for the login screen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-3.16.1.1-1.fc22.x86_64 gnome-session-3.16.0-1.fc22.x86_64 How reproducible: - Start f22 workstation - login to GNOME (X or wayland session) - look for gdm's processes - find out that it has started it's own set of gvfs and goa processes Additional info: this may have to do with the fact that gdm-session-worker calls gnome-session with the --session gnome-wayland switch (which may pull in desktop services / daemons?) output of "ps -u gdm": PID TTY TIME CMD 715 ? 00:00:00 systemd 720 ? 00:00:00 (sd-pam) 722 tty1 00:00:00 gdm-wayland-ses 727 tty1 00:00:00 dbus-daemon 733 tty1 00:00:00 gnome-session 763 tty1 00:01:09 gnome-shell 772 tty1 00:00:00 gvfsd 776 tty1 00:00:00 gvfsd-fuse 825 tty1 00:00:00 Xwayland 844 tty1 00:00:00 at-spi-bus-laun 847 tty1 00:00:00 dbus-daemon 851 tty1 00:00:00 at-spi2-registr 859 ? 00:00:00 pulseaudio 897 tty1 00:00:00 gnome-settings- 913 tty1 00:00:00 gvfs-udisks2-vo 939 tty1 00:00:00 gvfs-afc-volume 946 tty1 00:00:00 gvfs-gphoto2-vo 950 tty1 00:00:00 gvfs-mtp-volume 963 tty1 00:00:00 gvfs-goa-volume 966 tty1 00:00:00 goa-daemon gvfs and goa add up to about 10 MBs of additional RAM usage (which is not a lot, but still)
In my case it also starts org.gtk.Private.Telepathy.AccountManager (mission-control). Does GDM really need XWayland? Upstream bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752278
