I found another simple method to make unity-panel-service eat 100% CPU:
1. Open Sublime Text 3.
2. Switch keyboard layout fast many times.

Keyboard indicator works at first, but then starts to lag behind and
stops switching (keyboard layout is still switched, so it's only
indicator). While indicator hangs unity-panel-service eats 100% CPU.

This started after 13.10 upgrade.

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.
