For quite a while I've been having an issue where Nagstamon opens twice on my Fedora laptop ( edit: also just had this problem on my Gentoo desktop ) when I login. I've finally gotten around to investigating it properly and found the cause and a solution. First of all - the problem: I have Nagstamon set to run on login …
