GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 581207
Please consider using g_timeout_add_seconds to reduce wakeups
Last modified: 2009-05-04 07:55:02 UTC
From https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SavingTheWorld, (and of course according to the gtk docs) using g_timeout_add_seconds is preferred over g_timeout_add if a timeout in seconds is desired.
Created attachment 133873 [details] [review] Use g_timeout_add_seconds instead g_timeout_add
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
