gam_server is at it again. I recently started using the breezy release, and with both the 0.1.3 and 0.1.5 ubuntu packages, I've regularly  
seen gam_server sitting there eating my cpu.  
  
I've been keeping a record over the past week of what strace'ing gam_server does, and it's the same pattern everytime - a small set of files  
are getting repeatedly queried (or something...), thousands of times a second. Here are a few examples:  
  
....  
stat("/home/david/.kde/share/config/ksslpolicies6Tr6mb.new", 0x7fffffc3fb20) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)  
stat("/home/david/.kde/share/config/knotesrcrq8aSb.new", 0x7fffffc3fb20) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)  
stat("/home/david/.kde/share/config/ksslpolicies6Tr6mb.new", 0x7fffffc3fb20) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)  
stat("/home/david/.kde/share/config/knotesrcrq8aSb.new", 0x7fffffc3fb20) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)  
.... (repeated for those above two files thousands of times)  
  
  
...  
stat("/home/david/.inkscape", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0750, st_size=80, ...}) = 0  
stat("/home/david/.gstreamer-0.8", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=80, ...}) = 0  
stat("/home/david/.inkscape", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0750, st_size=80, ...}) = 0  
stat("/home/david/.gstreamer-0.8", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=80, ...}) = 0  
...  
  
etc.  
  
IMHO, this bug definitely needs reopening, although I'm not sufficiently empowered do to so.
