I disagree that it's unhelpful. It's very likely that there are several unrelated bugs in several unrelated indicators that all cause similar problems. The unity-panel- indicator program itself is a very small, lean program that just loads indicators (which are plugins), provides a drawing context, and dispatches the main event loop.
The issue in this bug is one or more issues in one or more indicators. Identifying the indicators causing the problem is the first necessary step to finding the problem in those indicators. The appmenu is one indicator found to have a serious resource leak when closing (and possibly when switching) apps, resulting in a steadily growing global table of callback pointers. Others, like Clementine, may possibly spamming DBus with updates (speculation on my part). More information is better. We can created new bugs for specific problems that are identified, when they are identified. The one problem, one bug principle will remain unviolated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1199877 Title: unity-panel-service pegs one of my CPUs at 100% To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-consumption/+bug/1199877/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
