** Description changed:

  since upgrading to gutsy beta htop shows about fifty processes like the
  following
  
  pid user pri ni virt res shr s cpu% mem% time+ command
  7582 root 23 0 7456 2016 1336 s 0.0 0.2 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/console-kit-deamon
  
- that do not show up in top or ps. it also reports about fifty more total
- tasks than top or ps.
+ It maybe the case that console-kit-daemon starts a thread for each
+ console that can theoretically exist. On Linux (/usr/include/linux/vt.h)
+ MAX_NR_CONSOLE is defined to be 63.
+ 
+ Note that those processes do not show up in DEFAULT top or ps output
+ --BUT-- if you run either of those tools with the -H parameter, so as to
+ display all the threads of a process, then they do show up.

console-kit-deamon spawns too many threads
