Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rdesktop
OK, this is a little weird, so bear with me (was also doing my head in
as to what was happening).
If I rdesktop into an XP machine (currently using Gnome-RDP to set up,
but am pretty sure that it does not matter), and have Explorer open on
the remote XP machine, then highlight a few large files (avi in this
case) and use the command to cut (or copy) them from one folder on the
remote XP machine to another folder on the remote XP machine, the local
Ubuntu machine comes to a standstill.
After a while my fan on the Ubuntu notebook starts running flat out, and I get
some very limited response (i.e. things work but very slow).
I can open a terminal window and type 'top' and see that Nautilus is using most
of the CPU (i.e. anywhere between say 70 and 95%).
This is interesting, as Nautilus is not even running (on the screen - if you
know what I mean).
I can run a sudo kill PID (whatever the pid for Nautilus is) and usually system
response comes right back and the fan quietens down.
Sometimes it then opens another Nautilus instance that is equally as greedy for
the CPU time an I have to kill it as well.
