I have a Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) server with LTSP5. I am experiencing the
same Nautilus consumption of CPU cycles. We currently have three client
stations. When the system becomes sluggish, I go into system monitor to
"kill" any Nautilus sessions. (Usually two to six or more sessions.)
Today, quite by accident, I had one of the users signoff his client
terminal. I then went to the server and logged in as his user (to
achive some email.) A Nautilus session opened during login (that was
not running when he sign off the client.) It appeared that Nautilus had
started, but never appeared when he was logged into the client. This
could explain the many Nautilus sessions consuming CPU cycles. Nautilus
sessions running unseen by user on client terminals.
I do not know if this will help or not, it is what I have experienced.
Someone with far more programming knowledge than I, needs to solve this
issue we are all experincing.
