This can happen with any of my launchers (I only have seven of them : aoss firefox %u ; amule ; gksu /usr/sbin/synaptic ; xsane ; gimp- remote-2.2 %U ; vmplayer ; gedit %U), but you have to combine at least two "right-click > properties > close" actions. The hang above happenned with the deadly "firefox-synaptic" sequence. It won't happen if you repeatedly open/close the properties dialog-box of the same launcher. -- gnome-panel uses 80% cpu after changing launchers properties https://launchpad.net/bugs/50392 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
