Funny you should mention this today. I ended up switching to KDE because of this, and today (for the first time in ages) I used a gnome application (bittorrent) from within KDE, within 5 minutes one of the cores on my CPU was maxed out at 100% usage!
When I originally logged this on bugzilla I was completely underwhelmed by the response. I think the problem lies with which file modification manager gnome uses: "fam" or "gam". Not certain, but I think the way they (eventually) suggested fixing it was to delete gam and install fam. I guess this should be fixed in SuSE 10.1, but I haven't been "brave" enough to try it yet......
Evolution can have the same problem (even when run in KDE, as I do). There can be a couple dozen fam processes running. OK if they are just sleeping. But they were all busy. I eventually had to kill them. It seems to be related to when I use a local mail folder. This is in 10.0. I don't have a 10.1 system with a mail setup of the type that seems to lead to this. So I have not tested it there. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
