[Bug 36581] Re: gam_server consumes lots of cpu time

[Haakon Nilsen]

I too am being plagued by this. Using Kubuntu/Dapper (i386) on my AMD
Athlon 64 3700+ system with 2GB ram, gam_server constantly consumes
around 11.6% CPU according to top. It doesn't matter what applications
are running or not. I tried to switch it to do polling on /* instead,
which only tripled the CPU consumption. My .xsession-errors fills up
with this:

invalid length 24902
end from FAM server connection
invalid length 24902
invalid length 24902
invalid length 24902
invalid length 24902
end from FAM server connection
invalid length 24902
invalid length 24902
invalid length 24902
...

I really hope this can get fixed in time for Dapper release, because it
is quite annoying.
