Comment 7 for bug 232557

seriously, I need help here! After only 1 day and 6 hours uptime:

  PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND

Console-kit-daemon, polkitd and polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 are consuming over 0.5GB between them!

I would love to try the latest version, but simply can't work out how to compile it, what compilation tools I need, and what other dependencies there are...

please can you help, as this is crippling my machine daily.
