Comment 41 for bug 148454

Lynoure & Stefan, please take the time to explain to us what the problem with console-kit-deamon is, because until now everybody else HAS NOT (and it doesn't help that originally some of the posters were chasing a completely different problem that wasn't even there). That's the reason I've marked this report as invalid: because it doesn't define what the problem is with enough clarity.

Now I'll have to make some guesses regarding the problem you see and ask you for some clarification:

Lynoure,
you seem to suggest that spawning 60 threads is a problem but WHY? People have posted a similar view before you but everybody has backed this up with either vague complains about wasted "system resources" in general or wrong[1] complains about wasted memory in particular. If you know better than the previous posters please take the time to make it clear to the guy that will have to deal with this bug.

Stefan,
you write like you know what CKD does with the threads it's spawning and how many of them it's using and how many of them are wasted but you could very well be guessing (I'm sorry but life is hard and I swear you wouldn't be the first person I found posting wild guesses in launchpad). If you do know enough then please take the time to elaborate just a little bit to help the developers since you are asking for them to help you also.
