            Bug ID: 325442
           Summary: Constant loop reading of /etc/passwd from /proc
                    updates
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: zeronullity at comcast.net

Konsole is causing a loop to constantly read from /etc/passwd every second..
even while idle  by pulling information from /proc/{pid}/stat etc.. Is there no
better way of doing this?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. strace -p {konsole}
2. inotifywait /etc/passwd -mrq
3.
Actual Results:  
Constant reading of /etc/passwd every second because of constant /proc access
even while idle.

Expected Results:  
I'm sure it's reading from a cached passwd file but I don't think there should
be any activity while idle or while nothing is running in Konsole window.
