   I had a look in my log and goa-daemon is not in the service 
configuration but is started
on boot.  Hwever, it was slo started before the current issue as follows:

Sep 21 21:42:40 my-machine gnome-session[3859]: JS LOG: System monitor 
applet enabling
Sep 21 21:42:40 my-machine gnome-session[3859]: JS LOG: System monitor

CurrentTime used to choose focus window; focus window may not be correct.
Sep 21 21:42:50 my-machine gnome-session[3859]: Window manager warning: 
Got a request to focus 0x302a978 (ecfa-2013b) with a timestamp of 0.  
This shouldn't happen!

Sep 21 21:42:50 my-machine gnome-session[3859]: Window manager warning: 
Got a request to focus the no_focus_window with a timestamp of 0.  This 
shouldn't happen!
Sep 21 21:42:54 my-machine goa[3256]: goa-daemon version 3.8.3 starting 
[main.c:113, main()]

So here it got started outside boot, maybe by this gnome-session WM error.
