When I strace g-s-d it sets up and forks. If I strace the pid there's a lot of stuff like this repeating:
writev(3, [{"\226\t\3\0>\0\0\0[\276\0\0"..., 12}, {NULL, 0}, {""..., 0}], 3) = 12 select(4, [3], [], NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [3]) read(3, "\1|\335\3\4\0\0\0[\276\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\1\0\2\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 48 read(3, 0x84bf068, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=9, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=11, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN}], 7, 0) = 0 (Timeout) The above is actually from the end of an strace on gnome-display- properties where it occurs as well. ** Attachment added: "Initial g-s-d" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23742233/strace.txt -- gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-display-properties slow down xserver when external monitor added https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/339228 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
