SUMMARY
krfb starts gobbling around 50-60% of one thread when starting a game, much like https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464800 . krfb also had no clients connected so could be related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464802 as well. Could be related to using gamescope https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope .

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. load steam, start helldivers 2. using gamescope.
2. looking into whats making it laggy I discovered krfb gobbling lots of cpu for no reason.

OBSERVED RESULT
gobbling cpu. stopping this gave me ~5fps back. go figure.

EXPECTED RESULT
krfb justs sits there eating nothing since no client is connected.
