Bug Description
since upgrading to gutsy beta htop shows about fifty processes like the following
pid user pri ni virt res shr s cpu% mem% time+ command
7582 root 23 0 7456 2016 1336 s 0.0 0.2 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/
It maybe the case that console-kit-daemon starts a thread for each console that can theoretically exist. On Linux (/usr/include/
Note that those processes do not show up in DEFAULT top or ps output --BUT-- if you run either of those tools with the -H parameter, so as to display all the threads of a process, then they do show up.

just checked on another computer, exactly the same thing there.
the processes are kill-able, i.e. 'sudo killall console-kit-deamon' succeeds and htop shows 50 processes less after that.
