Comment(by mtd):

 Wait; I think I found a problem: every time I restart X I get a new
 rainbow-daemon.  I only noticed this today when I was restarting X a lot
 (don't ask).  Eventually I ran out of memory (and swap) and figured out it
 was because I had about 15 rainbow-daemons (I run compcache so have "swap"
 which allowed me to last this long).

 Could it just be some upstart config issue?

 Example:
 {{{
 -bash-3.2# ps axuwww | grep rainbow
 root      547  0.0  9.0  38328 21228 ?        Ss   12:43   0:01 python
 /usr/sbin/rainbow-daemon --daemon
 root     2141  0.0  8.9  38376 21208 ?        Ss   12:49   0:01 python
 /usr/sbin/rainbow-daemon --daemon
 root     3537  0.0  0.2   2048   564 pts/3    S+   22:46   0:00 grep
 rainbow
 -bash-3.2# init 3
 -bash-3.2# init 5
 -bash-3.2# !ps
 ps axuwww | grep rainbow
 root      319  0.0  0.2   2044   520 pts/3    S+   22:48   0:00 grep
 rainbow
 root      547  0.0  9.0  38328 21228 ?        Ss   12:43   0:01 python

 root     2141  0.0  8.9  38376 21208 ?        Ss   12:49   0:01 python

 root     4040 20.3  8.9  38376 21208 ?        Ss   22:48   0:01 python

 -bash-3.2#
 }}}
