alright, i finally found the time to collect the strace output. seems to me like something is getting stuck polling for date/time. the strace file includes following:
-begin: just 1..2 seconds after update-notifier started causing high cpu load -end: update notifier had returned to normal cpu usage, greyed out notify icon appeared but disappeared after some time (~2 min?) without turning orange, without any notification message in addition, here's another thing i found shortly after the high cpu load started but then disappeared: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps aux | grep upda icke 5320 0.5 3.1 69204 15628 ?
