gam_server issue?

[Paul Dokas]

Is it normal for gam_server to constantly use approx 7% to 10% of a CPU?  This
seems to be a normal state while I'm logged in.  This also happens while the
computer is sitting at the GDM prompt (but gam_server is being run by gdm).

Here are the top running processes according to top.  I'm logged in of course
and the machine is otherwise idle.
