I'm not sure if this will help, but I'm experiencing something eerily similar. I'm on Hardy using Gnome. I have two screens. I'm working on a Qt 4.5 app. When I launch the app on the first screen, things at first seem ok. However, if I move the window (even a couple pixels), then Gnome tries to reposition the window offsetting the window a couple pixels, then tries to do it again and again and the entire system crawls to a near halt.
I was watching processes (top) and it went something like this: - gnome-panel 77% - Xorg 40% - metacity ~20% - my app ~20% Btw, I have two AMD CPUs. -- two xscreens -> gnome panel crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278261 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
