Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubuntu-sso-client
If I'm reading powertop output right, ubuntu-sso-client in maverick is responsible for a consistent 10 wakeups per second on my laptop. This, despite the fact that I am not using Ubuntu One on this laptop, so there is no discernable reason why this process should be running *at all*.
Won't someone think of the polar kittens and their melting ice sheets? Please fix this service to poll more sensibly or, if that's not possible (the event loop appears to be handled by twisted, so maybe this isn't under your direct control), fix it to not start up on systems that aren't using Ubuntu One.

Hello Steve!
Thanks for your report. On one hand, we have submitted an update to the package so the DBus service runs the gtk mainloop instead of twisted's. On the other hand, the DBus service is started by activation, so if you have it running, that means that some service started it. Current clients of the service are Ubuntu One and Software Center.
Cheers!
