[clug] F15, mythtv and gnome-shell

[Eyal Lebedinsky]

As I launch mythtv (not touching the first screen yet) I can see this in 'ps fax' (see below).

Is this reasonable? I do not recall this in the past (meaning before f15). Does mythtv usually
launch so many processes (which are left abandoned)?

Later, when I am watching a recording, while mythtv shows moderate CPU usage, gnome-shell
is *very* busy:

   PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
  7839 eyal      20   0 1710m 132m  38m R 52.6  3.5   0:50.68 gnome-shell
  8171 eyal      20   0 1885m 347m  63m S  7.9  9.1   0:23.96 mythfrontend

What is gnome-shell doing here?

cheers
