Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
I was playing a youtube video on Firefox and it was skipping with lots of
harddisk activity.
I checked top and found that gnome-power-man was consuming 64% of my memory and
increasing. I killed it before it took down my system.
Expected: Flash video to play properly.
Reality: Flash video stuttered and system began to be unusable
