Bug#708273: gnome-system-log: continuous hard drive access when log window is moved

[Birger Andersson]

Package: gnome-system-log
Version: 3.4.1-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Opening gnome-system-log on wheezy (and jessie) creates a window which, 
when moved on the screen give rise to continuous writes on the hard drive. 
This is problematic when communication with the hard drive is slow.

This behaviour is confirmed on several machines. If I remember correctly 
it doesn't appear on Ubuntu-GNOME ('raring') although I'm not 100% sure 
about this.

The expected behaviour is that there should be no disk access when a 
window (any window) is moved on the screen.
