Affects: gamin (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
I am using Kubuntu Dapper with the newest updates installed and whenever
I try to copy a file using Krusader, gam_server uses about 10% of my CPU
at a constant level. This will stop if I quit Krusader but reoccurs if I
restart Krusader. When I kill the process gam_server and restart
Krusader, the CPU usage is ok but again jumps to 10% if I copy a file
again. This also happens after I start amaroK.

What I also noticed is that gam_server often uses up to 10% of my CPU when I am just surfing the web. The usage drops immediately but these peaks exist.
This hasn't occured under Breezy and I also compiled my own version of gamin using the source file from gamin's homepage. 
None of these problems occured with my "own" version of gamin.
Then I don't even notice the process in "top" because it doesn't even use the CPU very much.

So I draw the conclusion that something must be wrong with the ubuntu or debian specific package of gamin.
Maybe there is something wrong with the polling options?
