Comment 1 Denys Vlasenko 2009-11-30 10:04:03 UTC
I cannot reproduce it. abrt-applet is listening to dbus signals, and then, even to some of them:

dbus_bus_add_match(system_conn, "type='signal',member='NameOwnerChanged'", &err);

If you have an active source which sends a lot of them, abrt-applet will be forced to process them and discard most of them.

What do you see when you run   strace -tt -p `pidof abrt-applet` ? (Please *attach* the log as a file to this bug, do not add it as a comment, those tend to get garbled...)

Comment 2 Thomas Meyer 2009-11-30 19:18:04 UTC
Hi,

Before I get the 10 wake-ups per second abrt-applet detects the following warning in my kernel dmesg:

------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: at drivers/pci/dmar.c:611 check_zero_address+0x6f/0x91()
Hardware name: Aspire 1810T
Your BIOS is broken; DMAR reported at address zero!

and the a little animation is triggered. After clicking the flashing warn sign, the abrt-gui opens, then I close the abrt-gui again. But then the abrt-applet is seen in the powertop utility with 10 wake-ups per second, although everythings is closed again and the flashing warn sign disappeared.

Ah, I have a feeling, that it's caused by the animated icon, will check it.

Thanks,
Jirka
