I have acme set to start at session startup and I have the "Notification Area" enabled on the panel. So there is a little icon in the notification area for acme. Upon initial gnome session startup acme, panel, and notification are all using as many CPU cycles as they can. This condition will persist until I click on the acme icon in the notification area. Then the CPU usage goes down to essentially zero for acme, panel, and notification. I do not have to open acme, just click on the icon. If I do not have the notification area enabled and acme starting at session startup, then the acme and panel CPU utilization is normal. If I have the notification area enabled and acme *not* start at session startup, then the panel and notification CPU utilization is normal. If I load acme after gnome has started up (with notification area enabled), CPU utilization is normal for acme, panel, and notification. High CPU utilization only happens when acme puts the icon in the notification area at session startup. -- Glenn Johnson USDA, ARS, SRRC Phone: (504) 286-4252 New Orleans, LA 70124 e-mail: gjohnson@srrc.ars.usda.gov
