OK, when I kill eggcups from the session it goes away in top, but it 
takes a ~20 seconds before cpu usage from dbus-daemon-1 goes down. When 
I start it with

gdb --args eggcups -d --sm-disable

the problem does NOT appear. Since eggcups doesn't crash (my USB printer 
can't be found by kudzu ATM, somebody mentioned the same problem on this 
or the devel list) I can't give you a backtrace.

eggcups -d gives:

and so on

strace end up with this output repeating itself ad nauseum

select(18, [17], [], [17], NULL)        = 1 (in [17])
read(17, "ERROR \"Not currently in an auth "..., 2048) = 47
select(18, [], [17], [17], NULL)        = 1 (out [17])
write(17, "CANCEL\r\n", 8)              = 8
