WIth lsof, I found out that thunar starts traversing the entire home directory of this system. E.g.
xfdesktop 5890 gebruiker 20r DIR 8,3 4096 787278 /home/gebruiker/Documenten/Ronald/Drakan/Mountain World/Intro Level xfdesktop 5890 gebruiker 21r REG 8,3 37232 787284 /home/gebruiker/Documenten/Ronald/Drakan/Mountain World/Intro Level/Intro Objects.ssd And it traverses towards *everything*, including my kernel source tree (where it stays for a while). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173849 Title: Some events cause xfdesktop to hang with high cpu usage and eating memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfdesktop4/+bug/1173849/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
