Description Vince C. 2008-05-04 11:53:49 CEST
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.8 (like Gecko) (Gentoo)
Build Identifier: 

The list of processes in xfce4-taskmanager-0.3.* grows each time it's refreshed. The first (or the first two) processes (in sort order) are inserted on top of the list again and again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Run xfce4-taskmanager.
Actual Results:  
The process list grows forever.


This behaviour might happen or not according to the theme used. I've encountered the problem on Gentoo Linux AMD64 essentially.

Calculate pagesize with portable function and fallback to 4K

Fixed in revision 4763.  But still, with x86_64 processors some people see a value of 0 for either the CPU usage and/or the RSS usage of each processes.

I'm not able to reproduce here, and I don't have an idea of what is going wrong, except for the RSS value.  Check the attached patch, if it helps let me know.

I'm now using xfce4-taskmanager-0.4.0 on Gentoo (x86 and x86_64) and the bug has gone. Thanks.
