Package: xfce4-panel Version: 4.3.90.1-3 Severity: normal On my Debian unstable system (athlon 2600), xfce4-panel eats a continuous 2% cpu, approximately. A strace on the process shows that within approximately 10 seconds, the following functions are called:
> grep -c ioctl strace.log 142 > grep -c gettime strace.log 267 > grep -c poll strace.log 141 It appears that the program is polling something rather inefficiently and often. Removing the system load monitor plugin didn't make any difference, probably because it runs as a separate program. My panel is oriented vertically on the right hand side of the screen, and contains the following items: XFCE menu (closed) 8 application launchers pager (3 workspaces) system load plugin mixer plugin clock action buttons (lock/logout) systray iconbox -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages xfce4-panel depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.11.4-3 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.2.0-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libexo-0.3-0 0.3.1.6beta1-1 Library with extensions for Xfce ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-7 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.2.1-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglib2.0-0 2.10.3-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.18-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 1:1.0.0-3 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpango1.0-0 1.12.3-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-5.1 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 Session Management library ii libstartup-notification0 0.8-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libx11-6 2:1.0.0-7 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1.1.5.2-5 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfce4util2 4.3.90.1-1 Utility functions library for Xfce ii libxfcegui4-4 4.3.90.1-1 Basic GUI C functions for Xfce4 ii libxfixes3 1:3.0.1.2-4 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 1:1.0.0-5 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrandr2 2:1.1.0.2-4 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0.2-4 X Rendering Extension client libra ii procps 1:3.2.7-2 /proc file system utilities ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime xfce4-panel recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
