Bug Description

Binary package hint: vino

1) $ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04

-------------------------------------------
2) $ apt-cache policy vino
vino:
  Installed: 2.26.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2.26.1-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2.26.1-0ubuntu1 0

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
-------------------------------------------------

3)/4) The vino-server is taking up 25-35% of the system CPU resources (%sy in "top"). Thing is, it's starting and stopping a new "vino-server" process about every 1-2 seconds and then about every 10 seconds a third "vino-serv <defunct>" starts up, runs for 3-4 secs and then stops again.

I'm guessing the overhead for starting/stopping the processes counts against the %sy and therefore the offending processes does not stand out with a particular high CPU-load. Funny...

Copy of the relevant rows from "top"

5637 jarl 20 0 23124 8596 6836 S 0.0 0.6 0:01.83 vino-server
23873 jarl 20 0 0 0 0 Z 1.3 0.0 0:00.04 vino-serv <defunct>
23874 jarl 20 0 22716 6708 5280 R 0.7 0.4 0:00.02 vino-server

I'd like to file a bug at the correct PID but it keeps incrementing every 1-2 seconds.

(Looks like I'm not alone having trouble with this:
