           Summary: digikam.org logo animation causes high CPU load in X
                    server
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.5.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rfkd at fietze-home.de


Version:           1.5.0 (using KDE 4.5.2) 
OS:                Linux

As long as the digikam.org logo in the upper right edge is animated, e.g. in
the batch queue manager while it is running, digikam seems to put a high CPU
load on the X server.

The two lines from top:

10329 fietze    20   0 1801m 786m  57m 1.0g S  101 10.2  16:51.72
/usr/bin/digikam -caption digiKam -icon digikam                                 

 6646 root      20   0  621m 486m  43m 134m S   73  6.3 115:18.94 /usr/bin/Xorg
-br :0 vt7 -nolisten tcp -auth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-M2sQlb        

As soon as the batch queue manager window is minizmized the Xorg load goes
almost away (below 5%), while the high digikam CPU load stays (of course, the
queue is still active and running).

Could be a similar problem as with the knotify button animation, which did
almost the same thing while e.g. download jubs where active.

This is on an openSUSE 11.2 x86_64 with a dual core AMD Athlon 6400+. Maybe the
used grafics card and driver is one factor: embedded ATI Readeon 3xxx inside an
AMD 780G chipset, newest ATI driver catalyst V10.9.


Reproducible: Always
