Bug#780229: unblock (pre-approval): mate-settings-daemon/1.8.2-3

[Mike Gabriel]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please consider unblocking planned upload of package mate-settings-daemon.

+  * debian/changelo:
+    + Fix typo in previous changelog stanza.

Is that ok as I did that in the .debdiff? Should this be mentioned here?

+  * debian/patches:
+    + Add debian/patches/1001_fix-numlock-cpu-usage.patch. Prevent m-s-d from
+      causing high CPU load if the user repetitively toggles the NUMLOCK key
+      while being connected via a remote session (NX, X2Go, VNC, xrdp, etc.)
+      or sometimes also in a local X.org session. (Closes: #780226,
+      LP:1364111).

-> This issue has been bugging me personally and also a customer of mine
for a while now when connected to MATE via X2Go. I always thought that it
was related to nxagent/x2goagent.

While triaging bug reports in the MATE upstream issue tracker, I stumbled
over the patch shipped with this upload proposal (see #780226 for
details).

The provided patch by Nilesh Govindrajan fixes the high CPU load issue
(and probably also another issue observed under X2Go [1]).

light+love,
Mike
