@ Sebastien Bacher (seb128) RE: post #39

I let gimp sit open with focus for about 5 minutes with no change in free/used memory and no unity-panel-service problems.
I then opened an image in Gimp and let it sit with focus for another 5 minutes.  There was no issues with memory or unity-panel-service in this instance either.  It only happens while active using Gimp (using tools for retouching, applying filters, etc.)

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.
