I’ve eventually figured out the issue being profile-specific and a workaround being the removal of a configuration file in your profile directory:
rm $HOME/.gconf/desktop/gnome/interface/%gconf.xml It seems to be related to some font or desktop theme settings set in that configuration file. I also noticed that the problem may come back after altering the font and theme details through the applet in System -> Preferences -> Aspect. Anyway removing the above mentioned file fixes the issue once again. -- [jaunty] system-config-printer & new python hangs with 100% CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/343625 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
