I believe I have narrowed it down somewhat. It seems to be a process
that begins with gnome-settings- (when I hammer on the button
repeatedly, that process jumps to the top of the list in top).
How do I get gnome to not use the remote? I don't even know how I set
it up to use the remote in the first place. Also, I can't use irw
anymore. When I run it, no output goes to the terminal when I hit
keys. This is very frustrating because it was working a little while
ago and have no idea what I did to make this happen.
