No backtrace available since the program doesn't actually crash (except when using strace, but forget about that)
I cleared all gconf settings for xchat-gnome and the problem disappeared. But when I set a background image the problem returns, even if I disable the use of the background image. This is reproducible on my system. Once you have tried to use a background image there is only one way to solve the problem, that is to clear the value of /apps/xchat/main_window/background_image using gconf-editor. When you clear the value the CPU usage immediately drops. I tried it with png and gif images, not sure if it matters though. -- Excessive CPU load in settings window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108650 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for xchat-gnome in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
