Description of problem:
bonobo-activation-server process does not die after logout

full info at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148071



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libbonobo-2.6.2-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. login to gnome
2. launch evolution
3. log out


Actual Results:  log in with Console or other account, and note that
the process tree still contains

/usr/libexec/bonobo-activation-server --ac-activate --ior-output-fd=18

even after a protracted period of time

Expected Results:  /usr/libexec/bonobo-activation-server exiting
normally either at, or a reasonable time after logout

Additional info:

a patch exists at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148071 for
gnome 2.6,
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=29734&action=view, which
has been checked into both trunk and gnome-2.6 branches.

Perhaps this simple patch could be released for FC2 users, to help
clear up all the stray processes left around*, making less work for
admins weeding multiples of them back out, hours later. 

* processes left 25 minutes after user logout,
