When I first installed I selected multiple different desktop environments,  so I could try them out.  I did not expect that ones that I was not running would have any effect in the one that I was running...

Running pulseaudio --start fixed that problem,  but now I show two instances of it runninng.

In the one that was running to start with,  the command line shown to me in system monitor includes "daemonize=no".  I would guess that to be the problem,  but why is that in there?  And where do I fix it?  I also see "parent systemd" and after a bit of poking around in there I'm rather thoroughly confused,  not at all sure where I'd have to fix this.  Although /usr/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudioi.service seems pertinent.  Why would that have "daemonize=no" in there?
