<div class="content">My system was running slow Monday afternoon.
Checking the system monitor I found that the dbus-daemon process
noted above was using 502.9MB of memory! Not knowing how else to
correct this, I closed out all my applications and restarted my
system. After the restart this process is using 1.6MB of memory.<br>
<br>
Has anyone else seen this problem?<br>
<br>
Is there a way to cleanly restart this process short of a full
system shutdown/restart?<br>
<br>
In case you need more system specifics:<br>
