Upstream commit that fix in their stable serie: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/log/?h=gtk-2-24 http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?h=gtk-2-24&id=c282958fb4bb25c736c682735002d15c50cb44d0
I've backported that to natty now, could you test the update and let we know how much of the issue it solves or if the other gtkwidget change is also required? Upstream did that extra change in trunk: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?id=b7fd6f1e8826589646e2b0e2d7a848fc2fab3ee3 Which will land in the next gtk3 update, that one is not in gtk2 yet though. If the fix works correctly we will consider stable updates for other ubuntu series but it needs testing in natty before -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/689741 Title: libgtk2.0-0 performance problem due to unused cruft from 10 years ago -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
