Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon

I have a 2 core machine and at startup gnome-settings-daemon takes over one core completely. To use my laptop I have to kill the gnome-settings-daemon process from the command line and this leaves me without any customization to the GUI.

Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release: 9.10

gnome-settings-daemon:
  Installed: 2.27.5-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 2.27.5-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 2.27.5-0ubuntu2 0

Thanks

Thanks :)

Pulseaudio was not installed, and the problem has disappeared after installation.

Shouldn't there be a dependency somewhere for this ?

It already has a recommends on Pulseaudio, and recommends are installed by default. It's not a depends because it's only the media-keys plugin that needs Pulseaudio, and that plugin should just fail gracefully when Pulseaudio is not available.
