OT:Gmail and console-kit-daemon

[Arthur Barlow]

I believe that this has been mentioned before, but I still haven't heard a
credible argument.  If I monitor the processes on my when I first open a
browser, not much changes, expect maybe a few added processes for the
browser.  If I do a search on Google.. nothing.  But, as soon as I log into
Gmail, I get about 20 - 30 threads running "console-kit-daemon" and the user
is root.  Does anyone know why this happens?
