[Nautilus-list] nautilus eating up 7% of the CPU even when idle

[Wagner Toledo Correa <wtcorrea verizon net>]

Hi,

I've noticed (using top) that, even when it's idle, nautilus is eating 
up 7% of the CPU.

The effect is a brief stall, roughly every second.  This is really 
noticeable, for example, if you run /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/kumppa. 
It is also noticeable when you are scrolling text, or selecting a 
rubber-band area on the desktop.

This is reproducible. It happens every time I start X.  And it persists 
even hours after I've started X.

I'm running nautilus-1.0.4-ximian.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.1 with 
kernel-2.4.3-12.

Has anyone experienced the same problem?  Does anyone know how to fix it?

A workaround I've found is killall nautilus.

Thanks,

Wagner
