Well, it seems this bug was never reported upstream so it had poor chance of being fixed. I reported, fixed the issue and backported to all stable branches, see: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690266
It is not just about gnome-panel but all gtk+ applications, and freezes instantaneously any application on F10/Shift-F10 or submenus. It is quite severe if you need accessibility like Jean-Philippe as the desktop seems completely frozen (well, to a casual user too as the process loops endlessly and consumes a lot of CPU). Could this be cherry-picked for Wheezy by any chance? best regards --S -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
