Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: compiz
After updating to the latest compiz, I figured this bug would be fixed,
but it is not. Here's the issue:
When Thunderbird or some other application pops up a dialog, usually
from another virtual desktop onto the current virtual desktop, Compiz
spikes to 100% CPU usage and the system is hung. I can however change to
another TTY (I think that is what they are called) using CTRL-ALT-F1.
This is how I can see that compiz is using 100% CPU. The process is
named compiz.real. In order to fix this I have to restart X using CTRL-
ALT-BACKSPACE or kill the compiz.real process (effective restarting X).
This is pretty frequent. One to two times per day or more. It is pretty
simple for me to reproduce and at this point is a complete show stopper
for Hardy on my setup.
Here are my systems specs:
Dell Dimension 9150
nVidia (not sure exact specs, can get them if necessary)
Hardy latest updates (4/17/2008) upgraded from Gusty
Nothing custom at all except some Compiz key-bindings and a few other desktop
tweaks like background, panels, etc.
