** Description changed: STR: 1. Start xterm 2. Run "python -mpyinotify /tmp" - 3. Start gnome-termina. + 3. Start gnome-terminal. 4. Run some command like ls Actual Results: Observe a ton of IN_MODIFY lines such as <Event dir=False mask=0x2 maskname=IN_MODIFY name=vteD7DX2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vteD7DX2V wd=1 > <Event dir=False mask=0x2 maskname=IN_MODIFY name=vte1XDX2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vte1XDX2V wd=1 > <Event dir=False mask=0x2 maskname=IN_MODIFY name=vte72DX2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vte72DX2V wd=1 > <Event dir=False mask=0x2 maskname=IN_MODIFY name=vteD7DX2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vteD7DX2V wd=1 > <Event dir=False mask=0x2 maskname=IN_MODIFY name=vte1XDX2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vte1XDX2V wd=1 > <Event dir=False mask=0x2 maskname=IN_MODIFY name=vteD7DX2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vteD7DX2V wd=1 > <Event dir=False mask=0x2 maskname=IN_MODIFY name=vte1XDX2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vte1XDX2V wd=1 > <Event dir=False mask=0x2 maskname=IN_MODIFY name=vte72DX2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vte72DX2V wd=1 > <Event dir=False mask=0x2 maskname=IN_MODIFY name=vteD7DX2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vteD7DX2V wd=1 > <Event dir=False mask=0x2 maskname=IN_MODIFY name=vte1XDX2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vte1XDX2V wd=1 > Or, when idle - <Event dir=False mask=0x1 maskname=IN_ACCESS name=vteGFOF2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vteGFOF2V wd=1 > <Event dir=False mask=0x1 maskname=IN_ACCESS name=vteI7NF2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vteI7NF2V wd=1 > <Event dir=False mask=0x1 maskname=IN_ACCESS name=vteVCOF2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vteVCOF2V wd=1 > <Event dir=False mask=0x1 maskname=IN_ACCESS name=vteGFOF2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vteGFOF2V wd=1 > <Event dir=False mask=0x1 maskname=IN_ACCESS name=vteI7NF2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vteI7NF2V wd=1 > <Event dir=False mask=0x1 maskname=IN_ACCESS name=vteVCOF2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vteVCOF2V wd=1 > <Event dir=False mask=0x1 maskname=IN_ACCESS name=vteGFOF2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vteGFOF2V wd=1 > <Event dir=False mask=0x1 maskname=IN_ACCESS name=vteI7NF2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vteI7NF2V wd=1 > <Event dir=False mask=0x1 maskname=IN_ACCESS name=vteVCOF2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vteVCOF2V wd=1 > <Event dir=False mask=0x1 maskname=IN_ACCESS name=vteGFOF2V path=/tmp pathname=/tmp/vteGFOF2V wd=1 > This looks like vte code storing something. According to this question - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1830432, "Sometimes vte creates temporary files which contains a copy of the whole scrollback buffer, [...]". Expected results: Nothing is being written to this dir at this rate by gnome-terminal.
