Since updating to F22 I have had issues with system restarts. Regardless of how I restart (reboot or systemctl) the process stops at the point where the log says "Reached target Shutdown" and just hangs. I have to press the physical restart button to get the system up again.
The first thing that happens when I request the reboot is that I get a message "GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.LimitsExceeded Maximum number of connections for UID 0 has been reached".
When the system does restart, I get a pop-up saying that Thunderbird is already running. I have to manually kill the tbird process and then reinitialise tbird. To my knowledge, there is nothing in a startup script to initiate tbird.
Cheers and thanks, Stephen

Put this in a shell script and run it from rc.local:
killall -9 thunderbird

There is actually a thunderbird process running? And that message pops up before you try to run thunderbird yourself? Try running Gnome tweak tool and check the Startup Applications section.

Yes and Yes.
I'm running KDE. Is there an equivalent tool?

Perhaps, previously, you have saved the session on exit, and had Thunderbird running at that time.
If you can't find how to control start-up applications, you could try quitting all current apps, activate the save-session feature, and log out.

I do not know how to control start-up applications apart from systemctl and I don't believe that systemctl has anything to do with tbird. Is there a KDE facility? I see a .kde/Autostart directory but it is empty.
What is "saved the session on exit"? How does one "activate the save-session feature"? When I quit tbird, I just click the top right corner. Similarly with Chrome. It also restarts auto-magically but without any error.

Bring up "System Settings" and go to Workspace--->Startup and Shutdown--->Desktop Session.
Look at your settings for "On Login". You probably have "Restore previous session" checked. Setting "Restore manually saved session" will get you a new entry in "Leave" menu. This is where you'd save your session. FWIW, not all programs start up well and if you use multiple workspaces you will find that the apps may not start in the workspace they were saved in. In other words, that feature has a bug. :-)
