pure speculation about xfce4-xkb-plugin / iceweasel

Thu Jun 16, 2016 4:28 am

so, iceweasel is being a resource hungry pos (and this just in: winter should be cold this year...)

but when i kill iceweasel, xfce4-xkb-plugin starts driving cpu up. now this isnt one of my slower machines, its one of the faster ones. i kill xfce4-xkb-plugin and it respawns. i move it to another folder and kill it, and things are back as they should be.

i dont even know what xfce4-xkb-plugin does. xkb-- is that keyboard shortcuts, or layouts?

either way, im happy without it. i dont even know what the bug is. if anyone else wants to speculate too, thats fine by me. (i think theyre in on it together, somehow...)

The keyboard plugin is for the different keyboard layouts that go with different languages. You can remove it from the panel, and it shouldn't bother you again. Well, if you're running a live, read-only medium, it'll bother you again after reboot.

Next release will have firefox in it. That should be *much* better.
