Package: dfm Version: 0.99.9-1+b1 Severity: normal after launching DFM from my .fluxbox/startup or command-line with
dfm & CPU usage is fine at this point. After about 40-45 seconds of almost zero CPU usage, the CPU usage for DFM rockets up to heavy usage and stays there until the process is killed. This seems to be related to the "40 second" update/refresh period set in the DFM configuration. Before upgrading my version of DFM, refresh happened at 40 seconds with no problems. Since the upgrade, it has caused the heavy CPU usage. Changing the DFM update frequency to 0 disables auto-update, and prevents the CPU utilization from sky-rocketing. However, auto-update now seems to be broken. I've tried leaving it for 5+ minutes to see if it would solve itself, but it remains at high usage indefinitely until killed.
