Description William Jon McCann 2007-01-30 18:55:43 UTC 
The applet wakes up a lot.  This is particularly bad when multiple users are logged in.  Every instance of the applet wakes up and consumes resources.

For example, there are a log of g_timeout functions used.

If you login two users and just run top in a terminal you'll see that the menu applet for both users wakes up and hits the cpu.
Comment 1 Federico Mena Quintero 2009-02-25 21:20:01 UTC 
In the latest code, the only thing that could wake up repeatedly is hard-drive-status-tile.c.  It connects to the tile's "hide" signal, and disables the timeout in the callback for "hide".  However, the tile is never actually hidden --- it is the *toplevel* slab window that is hidden.

This should be easy to fix.  The tile can connect to "hide" on its toplevel window, or some out-of-band mechanism can be used to signal it directly from main-menu-ui.c.
