Somehow I have a Chrome Remote Heisen-desktop on Linux

Project Member Reported by w...@chromium.org, Nov 7 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version: Host 63.0.3239.17 (though I assume the older version 
OS: Linux

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Not sure; my guess would be that this occurred because we pushed a new chrome-remote-desktop package for Linux.

What is the expected result?

When I connect to my desktop, it is the same desktop each time.

What happens instead?

Sometimes when I connect I get to a desktop with one window open.  Sometimes I get a desktop with three windows open.  It appears that I have two desktops running against the same host registration; presumably which one I end up talking to depends on which has most recently sent a keep-alive!

I noticed a few days ago that my desktop had been reset - I think this was when the single-window desktop first appeared, and since then I sometimes get the single-window one, sometimes the multi-window one.  Presumably this coincided with us pushing version M63?

This was unfortunately caused by a change in the new version rending it unable to detect running instances of the old version on Linux. The solution is to stop one of the two hosts. The new one can be stopped by running `/opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-remote-desktop --stop`. The old one can most easily be stopped by connecting to the session and choosing the logout option.
We're working on an update that can detect running instances of the old version, but it won't help on systems where two hosts are already running.
