           Summary: KDE processes writing to icon-cache files "prevents
                    the disk from going to powersave mode."
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: devurandom at gmx.net


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Following are several lines of output from powertop, while doing effectively
nothing (despite staring at the output of powertop or writing this bugreport)
with my computer:

The program 'flush-8:0' is writing to file 'kde-icon-cache.index' on /dev/sda1.
 This prevents the disk from going to powersave mode.

The program 'plasma-desktop' is writing to file 'kde-icon-cache.lock.lN2736' on
/dev/sda1.
 This prevents the disk from going to powersave mode.

The program 'plasma-desktop' is writing to file 'kde-icon-cache.lock.QP2736' on
/dev/sda1.
 This prevents the disk from going to powersave mode.

The program 'konqueror' is writing to file 'kde-icon-cache.lock.Th3204' on
/dev/sda1.
 This prevents the disk from going to powersave mode.

Running powertop for a longer time will result in lots of such messages. To me
it seems not immediately necessary to frequently write to such cache files, and
create lock files, if the icon theme does (almost) never change.

Kubuntu 10.04_beta1 / Lucid
