Yeah, I don't think restarting every fixed the problem for me. That 
would fix the issue if the problem was "goa-daemon not killed on 
logout", which given I very rarely log out and log back in means I 
shouldn't very often see this.

However given that killing the goa-daemon after login worked for me, it 
seems to indicate the issue is more likely related to be how it is 
launched for the login session, per this Arch issue: 
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46626

I believe this is the case since after doing some more digging, I was 
getting the "Message: Remote error from secret service: 
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" errors as reported in that 
Arch issue.
