The thing is, that Sun Java JRE is no longer in ubuntu-restricted-

those don't work as well as Sun Java.
These are the steps I followed:

[Gutsy] high processor activity after logging out and then logging in again
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Nautilus has a bug: the automatically created thumbnails of pictures,
aren't automatically deleted when the pictures they refer to, are being
deleted. Thus a great amount of useless orphaned thumbnails remain in
the hidden directory .thumbnails
FatButtLarry's solution appears to work for me: I only need to add
killal nautilus to that file, and no more problems. Thanks, Larry!
In short:
In the terminal:

Now add killall nautilus just above exit 0. The file reads then as

[Gutsy] high processor activity after logging out and then
No, before the removal of Tracker and Desbar applet it was also
occasionally. So nothing has changed.
This is a bug that probably doesn't affect people who have only one user
account on their PC's. But for people with two or more user accounts on
the same machine, this is really very bad.

Possibly the bad guy is Tracker. Tracker is a plugin in Deskbar applet.
An hour ago, I've completely removed Tracker from my system with
Synaptic, and I'm curious if the problem is over now.
Maybe you could try this, too, and report here if it has been a success?

@doclist: I would like some clarification from you, because this is an

everybody has tracker automatically. So if I understand you correctly,
you already removed tracker before, and still have the problem?
