Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Precise Pangolin.
If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please follow the instructions for "How to request new packages" at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#request-new-packages ** Changed in: gnome-system-monitor (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-system-monitor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/751523 Title: gnome-system-monitor spams dbus with requests for volume information Status in The GNOME System Monitor: Fix Released Status in “gnome-system-monitor” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor Steps to reproduce: 1. open gnome-system-monitor 2. switch to the "file systems" tab 3. in edit->preferences tick "show all filesystems" and set update interval to 1 second gnome-system-monitor will now spam dbus with volume information requests until dbus eventually refuses to honour any more. At this point it will start filling .xsession-errors with error messages. This behaviour also seems to cause gfvsd to use incredible amounts of memor. Showing all filesystems seems to be required to trigger the bug on some systems - notably clean VM installs with not much mounted filesystems. But when it's turned on the bug happens on lucid, maverick and natty clean/fully patched installs - although the leak happens very slowly in this case - about 1mb per minute. On my main workstation (which is maverick) it's a different story - with "optimal" g-s-m settings, gvfs can leak 1GB in 10 minutes.
