Was: gnome-vfs-daemon, gnome-panel and nautilus hog the CPU (no activity with bug 302879)

["Oscar A. Valdez" <oscar valdez-bicard com sv>]

Seeing there is no activity or response to bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302879 , I need to look deeper
into it myself.

The offending processes on Gnome 2.8 are:
gnome-settings-daemon
gnome-vfs-daemon
gnome-panel
nautilus

Sometimes the first three, sometimes nautilus also jumps in, and they
hog 100% of the CPU. I understand nautilus is the "explorer" in the
Gnome desktop, and gnome-panel is, well, the panel. I also understand
gnome-vfs-daemon manages connections for Gnome to other file systems
(such as nfs, WebDAV, etc.). This all makes me suppose that the high CPU
usage is related with connections to other file systems. But what about
them?

And what would gnome-settings-daemon have to do with it all?
