Comment 5 for bug 376554

Marco,

More details:

(1) After mv notify-osd notify-osd__ I verified that the problem "almost no
keyboard" and "infinilty show a sound volume notification" is still alive
but this time showing and hidden a small notification window (white
background).

(2) File $HOME/.cache/notify-osd.log
doesn not contain information about this bug (only few "Autho Eth0"
messages).

(3) If I do "suspend" (keyboard allows me to do that) the problem seems to
disappear.

(4) The Toshiba U300 "sound volume button" is in fact a wheel we can circle
(with no mchanical begin/end).

(5) The slightest touch in this wheel causes the problem.

(6) Since notigy-osd was not working I tried "system monitor" to check what
program was consuming CPU but I didn't find any "alive". All of them were in
sleep mode.

(7) Using again notify-osd no usefull information is written to
.cache/notify-osd.log. But in that case a back backgroud notification
appears on the top right corner, blinking eternaly. Nothing was written to
the log file.

Where should I check more ?

Thank
Pedro
