Comment 2 for bug 400820

Karmic testing.

Same thing for me here:

- cpu used over 40 % by gnome-volume-control-applet.

- looking at .xsession-errors: this file is oversized too : over 25 Mio after only 10 minutes & still full filled. can't open it because too big i suppose.

- user.log: i see "oem-desktop last message repeated 43645 times"

- to be able to open .xession-errors, i reboot & then shut down to generate a smaller file. Ok , here is interesting reasons and explanations:
          1) ** (gnome-volume-control-applet:3345): WARNING **: Connection failed, reconnecting...
          2) (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:3327): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: g_simple_async_result_complete() called from outside main loop!
          3) (gedit:4398): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_progress_set_percentage: assertion `percentage >= 0 && percentage <= 1.0' failed

I've not found others messages but have no sound too since this problem appear.

Let me know if you need specific output.
