Description Luis Gutierrez 2003-12-01 22:54:38 UTC 
Description of Problem:
When a user logs on, the Notification Area uses 100% CPU under fedora
core 1 default kernel (Yarrow, i686, single processor). 

This does not happen when the notification area is removed, pointing the
problem to the applet. It also happens even if no notification-aware
apps are being loaded.
It also does not happen in kernel 2.6.test11. (from arjan's RPM) This
suggest it is a red-hat kernel problem only.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1.  Configure GNOME to use the notification Area
2.  Save the configuration
3.  Log out
4.  Log back in. 
5.  Start top.
6.  Do nothing else.

Actual Results:
top will show the notification area struggling to get 100% cpu usage for
as long as 5 min. Time changes, and eventually CPU usage goes back to
zero.


Expected Results:
The notification area does not uses 100% CPU for long periods

How often does this happen?
Every time a user log-s in. 

Additional Information:
kernel 2.6.test11 gotten from (yum.conf)
