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

I don't quite understand. Does the Ubuntu desktop team care only about

If you do a standard Kubuntu 6.06 install, you're hit by this bug. This
will concern many users, and should be a priority, I think. Otherwise
Kubuntu CDs will ship with this bug ...

I also have this problem; shutting amaroK down solves it. According to
the log files, amaroK is monitoring three paths:
/home/frosty (my home dir)
/etc/security
/etc/samba/smb.conf
The last two paths are monitored by nearly every KDE application, and
they don't seem to create any problem.
that would be an issue from amarok that should not monitor .xsession-
errors, a music player has no need for that

You can't expect to be able to isolate (and make exceptions for) every
log file.
Gamin needs to do something sane (ie rate limit itself). Otherwise it
will always be flaky as hell.

It seems to be related to some KDE app, at least here. Perhaps KMail or

I do run such apps as aKregator and amaroK. Closing amaroK did not
change anything, but I didn't try aKregator. It's too late to try now,
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
I'm also experiencing this problem with Kubuntu-Dapper: it uses constantly
about 40% CPU and produces the same .xsession-errors.
I don't know, what has been the cause, because a reboot would probably fix it
again; killing gam_server does not: it gets restarted and produces the same
errors.

Not very interesting but i saw the cpu usage jump to 30% for gam_server.
The torrent download is now finished and just seeding one file. Perhaps
it's a ktorrent related bug. btw gam_server shouldn't consume that much.
