Created attachment 2673 strace log - see line 3,513 .. I belieive that's when X goes rogue. :) Howdy, I have a Dell M4300 with two batteries. Intel Duo Core T7700 and 4GB of RAM. When I run `xfce4-power-manager', after a few minutes of inactivity, `X' consumes all of one my of processors. I strace'd `xfce4-power-manager' with `--no-daemon' and I'm attaching the file. Eyeballing when X is pegged, it seemed to happen around line 3,513. But I'm not 100% sure. Please let me know what other forensics you'd like me to collect. Cheers, -pablo
Oh, I forgot to add, I tried switching off different combinations of the following to try and narrow the issue: o Monitor power management control o Show notifications to notify about the battery state o CPU frequency control I can't recall the different combinations I tried. Please let me know whether I should try any others. Cheers, -pablo

Which distro you are using? is this gnome or xfce? do you see the same problem with gnome-power-manager (if you can install this package and try will be nice). Thanks.
Hi Ali, No worries on the `delay' - I think your response time is more than adequate. :) Nonetheless, thank you. To answer your questions: o I'm using `openSUSE 11.2' o The DE is Xfce o I do not see the same problem when running `gnome-power-manager' Just a comment on `xfce4-power-manager' - it's slick! :) Cheers, -pablo
You know why i'm not posting here, because really i don't know from where to start, i don't know what can cause X to go busy. I will post if i figure out something.

Hi Ali, Thank you for your candid response. I have an idea. Why don't I open a bug on the openSUSE tracker and see if someone can chip in there. If you're okay with that, I'll do so. Cheers, -pablo

If you're okay with that, I'll do so. I you installed xfpm from the openSUSE repositories, then yes, probably they can have an idea, but please post the bug report link here so i can have a look at its status and hopefully we can fix it. > > Cheers, > -pablo Cheers, Ali.
Hi Ali, It turns out there's a similar bug under investigation on the `openSUSE' side. I've added myself to the cc. Here's the link: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=550440 Please let me know what you'd like me to do with this bug: close it, leave it open until the other issue is addressed? Cheers, -pablo
Could you please try out the latest commit? i mean try to use xfpm from git. git clone http://git.xfce.org/git/apps/xfce4-power-manager cd xfce4-power-manager ./autogen --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc make make install Let me know if it is better. Thanks.
(In reply to comment #8) > > Let me know if it is better. > Hi Ali, Sorry for the late response. I re-installed `openSUSE 11.2' from scratch because I wanted to go increase swap and switch back to `xfs' (I tried `ext4'). The `git' versions seems to have resolved the issue. W00t! Thank you for your super quick response. I appreciate it very much. Cheers, -pablo
