Description Stef Walter 2006-09-05 12:42:44 UTC 
Currently seahorse wakes up to poll constantly. See:

$ strace -e poll seahorse

This is probably due to timeouts. We should find ways of keeping it asleep until some user interaction wakes it. This will save power for laptop users. The same applies to seahorse-daemon (although it may be harder to fix there).

Federico Mena-Quintero recently posted on p.g.o about finding places that were causing excess polling.  I'll append the link here for future debugging.
