[Bug 830320] [NEW] gnome-appearance-properties using 100% cpu

 

Public bug reported:

Opening appearance dialog (system-preferences-appearance) and gnome-
appearance-properties went to 98% - 100% cpu usage and remained there
until manually killing the proccess. Repeated the action to be sure it
was that and happend every time, except one but circunstances where the
same. Closing the dialog doesn't solve it.

lsb_release -rd:
Description:	Ubuntu 10.10
Release:	10.10

gnome-control-center:
  Instalados: 1:2.32.0-0ubuntu2
  Candidato:  1:2.32.0-0ubuntu2
  Tabla de versión:
 *** 1:2.32.0-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

There are two gnome-appearance-properties processes; one hogging the cpu
and the second sleeping. Closing the window leaves the hogging one
behind (won't end it).

First two times that i opened the appearance dialog, some themes won't
show a preview also. After several theme switching to check if they
worked this stoped happening (for this time at least).

Launching gnome-appearance-properties from a terminal outputs this:

(gnome-appearance-properties:12149): Gdk-CRITICAL **:
IA__gdk_display_sync: assertion `GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed
