I have this bug too but I don't have a .gtkrc-2.0 file. The only .gtk* file i have is ".gtk-bookmarks". My CPU usable drops as soon as I click the Close button on the window. I noticed this happened within the last day or two's updates, I saw a lot of Gnome stuff being updated.
I tried adding a blank .gtkrc-2.0, and that didn't change anything. I also tried adding the same file that Steve Langasek had attached and it didn't change anything either. In the appearance panel the only thing that it seems to affect is my ability to change backgrounds. when I click on a background, it doesn't even put a selection box around it, it just sits there. Meanwhile, I can everything else, including themes, fonts and even turn compiz on and off. It's just a problem with the backgrounds. -- gnome-appearance-properties hogs processor even after close https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147045 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
