Vinagre Consumes Significant CPU Cycles

[Joseph Salisbury]

Binary package hint: vinagre

The latest version of vinagre on Natty beta 1 consumes a significant amount of cpu compared to prior versions. The current version of vinagre I am running is: 2.30.3-1ubuntu2.

Sample output from top when vinagre is running:

I'm now unable to reproduce. Vinagre is consuming a reasonable amount of cpu. The version of Vinagre has not changed. I will continue to monitor to see if the issue comes back.
