Comment 41 for bug 58171

It seems borjasotomayor and I experienced the same bug : everything was fine with alphas and betas until an update around intrepid release which broke it.
It also seems symptoms are not the same in our case than in yours : your problem was that the socket was misnamed for some reason, ours that gnome-session doesn't close files. If it happens again, could you try the manipulation borjasotomayor did and check the number of open files ? If it's around 1024 then it's probably the same bug as ours
