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. -- gam_server consumes lots of cpu time https://launchpad.net/bugs/36581 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
