2011-06-03 20:30:42 Davor Poznič description Binary package hint: compiz Occasionally my whole desktop hangs, only the mouse cursor moves. Compiz is running at 100% cpu usage in this loop (forever!): 0x00007f3a515866d0 <+224>: mov (%rax),%rax => 0x00007f3a515866d3 <+227>: cmp %edx,0x10(%rax) 0x00007f3a515866d6 <+230>: jne 0x7f3a515866d0 <_ZN13InotifyScreen13processEventsEv+224> 0x00007f3a515866d3 in InotifyScreen::processEvents() () from /usr/lib/compiz/libinotify.so I'm running natty amd64 with gnome2 (ubuntu classic) shell. After having a look at the source code of this specific plugin I suspect that there is a bug in an iterator loop. I created a patch, but haven't had time to test it so far. Maybe this helps.

Workaround: start ccsm, find "File Watcher" plugin and disable it.
