sshmenu-gnome is consuming too much power

[Harald]

Binary package hint: sshmenu-gnome

1) Release: 8.04

2) sshmenu-gnome:
  Installed: 3.15-1
  Candidate: 3.15-1
  Version table:
 *** 3.15-1 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) This is only a menu applet and should not consume big ammounts of energy.

4) While running `powertop` i encountered the following result (while the laptop was idle):

  26.3% ( 98.2) sshmenu-applet : do_nanosleep (hrtimer_wakeup)
  16.3% ( 61.0) <interrupt> : uhci_hcd:usb3, yenta, nvidia
  11.9% ( 44.3) <interrupt> : acpi
  11.3% ( 42.4) <interrupt> : extra timer interrupt
   7.4% ( 27.7) firefox : futex_wait (hrtimer_wakeup)
   5.5% ( 20.4) compiz.real : schedule_timeout (process_timeout)
   5.2% ( 19.3) <kernel IPI> : Rescheduling interrupts
   3.5% ( 13.2) psi : schedule_timeout (process_timeout)
   3.3% ( 12.2) <interrupt> : libata
   3.2% ( 11.8) <interrupt> : iwl4965

I wish this application would consume less energy, as this would greatly improve my battery performance.

KR,
Harald

Hello. This issue has been resolved in JJ 9.04. Sad that noone looked into this bug in 4 months. Regards, Harald
