I have the same behaviour as Raymond: removing ~/.gtkrc-2.0 solves the issue.
I've done a few more experiments: 1. If .gtkrc-2.0 exists but is empty, the bug does not appear. 2. If I launch gnome-appearance-properties with a non-empty .gtkrc-2.0 file, the bug triggers every time. Once it is triggered, if I remove the .gtkrc-2.0 file or empty it while g-a-p is still running (either the window is still open or I closed it but g-a-p is still running), g-a-p reacts almost immediately and the CPU goes back to 0%. 3. If I launch g-a-p with no (or an empty) .gtkrc-2.0 file, the bug is not triggered, even if I create the file once it is running. -- gnome-appearance-properties hogs processor even after close https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147045 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
