Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Right click on an item from the applications lens
2. Run ps aux after closing the dash.

Note that /usr/python /usr/bin/software-center/software-center-dbus is still running.

Grab lp:~davmor2/+junk/testscripts and import myutils from xpresser/xp_trial/ and then run myutils.statinfo('software-center')

The info you get from the script is that SC is running and using .8%-ish and 108meg of ram.

Thanks for your bugreport.

I can reproduce that the helper script is staying around. This is a dbus policy to avoid having to restart the service but there should indeed be a idle timeout when it exists again.

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * lp:~mvo/software-center/lp1044141:
    - fix unicode error crash on a transaction error
      (LP: #1044141)
  * lp:~mvo/software-center/fix-size-calc-race:
    - fix crash due to a race in the size calculation code
      in the details view (LP: #1041004)
  * lp:~mvo/software-center/fix-crash-1048886:
    - No longer call GLib.init_threads() as this will cause
      LP: #1048886 later. Many thanks to Albert Astals Cid
  * lp:~mvo/software-center/dbus-idle-timeout:
    - stop the dbus data provider after 5min of inactivity
      (LP: #1058567)
  * lp:~mvo/software-center/lp1051829:
    - Do not report deb packages with lintian errors via the
      recoverable errors mechanism. This removes 97 out of 104
      instances of my sample of the recoverable error report
      for LP: #1051829. Other types of failures will still be
      reported as recoverable failures though (as we do want
      to know about them).

  [ Gary Lakser ]
  * lp:~gary-lasker/software-center/lp1041004:
    - ensure that app_details is valid before using it (LP: #1041004)
  * lp:~gary-lasker/software-center/fix-crash-lp1021308:
    - send synthetic "style-updated" signals to ensure that the signal
      handlers are called on themes that do not send this signal (like
      oxygen-gtk3). This fixes a crash and broken drawing LP: #1021308

  [ Nicolas Delvaux ]
  * lp:~malizor/software-center/fix-lp1050036:
    - fix crash in get_label() (LP: #1050036) and drop the i18n for the
      yes/no symbols that were not translated in any language (as a result
      test_regression_lp1047281.py can also be dropped)
