[Bug 789419] [NEW] shutdown / reboot improperly terminates processes

[scar]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: upstart

upon shutting down or rebooting the system, either through the menu or
by using the command line /sbin/shutdown, running processes are not
terminated correctly.  i've noticed the following after rebooting:

- openoffice documents, though saved, are marked as 'lost' or something, because, after opening openoffice, it prompts me to 'recover' documents
- after opening gnucash, it says it "could not obtain the lock for" my database.
- commands that i had previously typed in gnome-terminal have not been saved in my ~/.bash_history

** Affects: upstart (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
