The notification-area-applet is new stuff. I didn't changed the applet. My bet is that it's related to the notification-area-applet. Do you still have the same problem without it ? If yes the bug is in rhn_applet or one of the components it uses, if no, well it means the notification-area-applet is not yet stable, the bug should go there. Daniel I can't have the rhn-applet without the notification-area-applet. If I log in and then kill the rhn-applet, the CPU drops back to normal. As an additional step, restarting the rhn-applet by hand does not cause the high CPU load again. So it seems like some type of rhn-applet/notification-area-applet init problem. Do you still have the problem with rhn-applet-2.0.10-5 that you can find on http://people.redhat.com/~veillard/ Daniel Yes, no better. I just noticed that I don't even have to click on the applet to make it stop eating CPU, I just move the mouse over it and it stops. The tooltips seem to make it go away. Can you also try rhn-applet-2.0.10-6 also at http://people.redhat.com/~veillard/ The problem might have been introduced with a major revision of GTK python bindings. This may fix the problem. Also do you use a specific non-US locale ? (I doubt it but it's one of the thing who changed recently in rhn-applet). Daniel rhn-applet-2.0.10-6 seems to fix this issue for me. Also, I might note (can't speak for reporter) that I'm not using a specific non-US locale. Okay, now if Thomas can provide feedback that this fixes the problem he saw that would be perfect ! thanks for the report, Daniel It doesn't fix it for me. I'm starting to think this may be a panel problem. It seems that I don't even need to move the mouse over the rhn-applet to get the CPU to go down. I just need to let the bottom panel get focus. After logging in, it gets focus just by moving the mouse over it because the top panel already has focus. I've attached a screen shot. Created attachment 94292 [details]
Screenshot of initial login with high CPU load
And no, I don't have a non-US locale. FWIW, the high CPU utilization returned for me today as well. :( This appears fixed in the latest gnome-panel/rhn-applet (rhn-applet-2.0.11-2/gnome-panel-2.4.0-1). Anyone still seeing this? It looks fixed here WFM. The reporter says he's cool, too, so I think this should be closed. There have been some bugfixes done to the applet <-> notification area code, the fix is likely to have come as a side effect of that more general fix (avoiding multiple socket connections), thanks for reporting back and closing it, Daniel |

I've seen this problem on four different systems I run rawhide on including single CPU systems and SMP systems. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhn-applet-2.0.10-4, gnome-panel-2.3.7-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in with rhn-applet in your notification area 2. 3. Actual Results: CPU level is high, being used by X, gnome-panel, notification-area-applet, and rhn-applet. Expected Results: CPU level is low. Additional info: This only started happening recently, maybe in the last week.
