Bug Description

Binary package hint: hamster-applet

I've noticed (by running powertop) that hamster-applet is causing a lot of wakeups --- in my case, around 90 per second. This is rather a lot when trying to conserve battery power. I don't see why it should have to wakeup that often. Is there perhaps a way to make it less power hungry?

If it matters, the command line for hamster is "python /usr/lib/hamster-applet/hamster-applet --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:Hamster_Applet_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=24"

Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
hamster -applet 2.30.1-0ubuntu0.1
