I've been able to narrow the problem a little more. It seems the actual line in my .gtkrc-2.0 which causes the problem is the following:
include "/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" If I start g-a-p with a .gtkrc-2.0 containing this line (alone or with the rest of my original file), the bugs triggers every time, and the CPU goes to 100%. If I overwrite the .gtkrc-2.0 file while g-a-p is "hung" with a version without the line, the CPU goes back to ~0%, and g-a-p exits correctly. I've attached strace to g-a-p while it is hung, at it seems caught in a loop. I've attached the fragment of the trace which is repeated endlessly (I don't know which line can be considered the beginning of the loop though). ** Attachment added: "Fragment of a trace repeated by g-a-p when the bug is triggered." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11109694/g-a-p.trace -- 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
