Just simply using gimp on a decent sized image (12 megpaixels and above
is all we work with) and it become unusable within 5 minutes.  Nothing
really specific, it just grinds to a halt, maxes out the memory and
unity-panel-service will be spinning it's wheels @ 100%.

We are working around this for now by choosing Gnome at login (we've
also tested in Cinnamon with no issues).  The problem is 100% definitely
Unity related, as there are no problems at all in Gnome or Cinnamon.

Bug description:
  Just going about my business on Ubuntu Raring amd64 on an x230 and I
  heard the fan kick into action.  top showed me that unity-panel-
  service was consuming all the free cycles on one of my CPUs.  I killed
  it before my machine overheated, so I didn't attach a debugger to see
  why it was totally pegging out a  CPU.

  I'm not sure if this adds any context, but I was using a LibreOffice
  spreadsheet and I could not insert a table because the menu had lost
  it's mind, and then I observed the overly loaded CPU a very short
  while after that.
