The only programs registered to gamin on my computer are KDE programs. While it indeed impacts Kubuntu users the most, I assume Ubuntu users that run some KDE programs are also affected by this.
An ugly workaround is to make .xsession-errors write-protected; it prevents the file from changing, and gam_server doesn't detect it as changing anymore. Of course, this solution is far from desirable if you need the log. -- 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
