[Bug 1841389] [NEW] plymouth still running after login

[fossfreedom]

Public bug reported:

I noticed that even after login the process plymouthd is still running
consuming approx 5% CPU.

Running ps -ef | grep plymouth shows:

root       359     1  4 23:29 ?        00:00:16 @sbin/plymouthd --mode=boot --pid-file=/run/plymouth/pid --attach-to-session
root       679     1  0 23:30 ?        00:00:00 /bin/plymouth --wait

What is supposed to tell plymouth to stop when X starts?
