Package: deskbar-applet Version: 2.32.0-1+b2 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer, it tried twice to add Deskbar applet to my Gnome Panel and both times I ended killing deskbar-applet, because it was using 100% of the CPU and something like 2.5GB of memory for 1.5 hour. The second time I straced the process and discovered that during some filesystem traversal it went down into wine symlinks which lead from some subdirectory of my home to the ~ itself (my filesystem isn't a proper tree, but a graph if considering symlinks). I couldn't get to the applet properties (or to it's menu, I think it was busy-waiting for extension), so by selectively removing files from /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible I narrowed it down to the plugin `templates'.
I don't know or use python, but for me it works if in templates.py, in line 196 condition 'not os.path.islink(file_path)' is added. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'stable'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-2-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages deskbar-applet depends on: ii gconf2 2.32.4-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.0.1-2 ii libc6 2.13-18 ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6.1 ii libcamel-1.2-23 3.0.3-1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.4.14-1 ii libebook1.2-10 3.0.3-1 ii libedataserver1.2-14 3.0.3-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-3 ii libfreetype6 2.4.6-2 ii libgconf2-4 2.32.4-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.24.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.28.6-1 ii libgnome-desktop-2-17 2.30.2-2 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.4-3 ii libnspr4-0d 4.8.9-1 ii libnss3-1d 3.12.11-3 ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.4-3 ii libsoup2.4-1 2.34.3-1 ii libsqlite3-0 3.7.7-2 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-1 ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-4 ii python 2.6.7-3 ii python-dbus 0.84.0-2 ii python-gconf 2.28.1-3 ii python-glade2 2.24.0-2 ii python-gnomeapplet 2.32.0-1+b1 ii python-gnomedesktop 2.32.0-1+b1 ii python-gnomekeyring 2.32.0-1+b1 ii python-gobject 2.28.6-5 ii python-gtk2 2.24.0-2 ii python-support 1.0.14 ii python-wnck 2.32.0-1+b1 Versions of packages deskbar-applet recommends: ii gnome-dictionary 2.30.0-2 deskbar-applet suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
