Public bug reported:
Preamble : I had no access to this computer lately so couldn't test
many things, but this bug happened a few weeks ago, maybe after an
update, and is still valid. The computer is a Compaq R4000 laptop
series.
Bug description : Switching between windows, tabs or menus is painfully slow
for most applications (I am talking of 10s latencies) : Firefox and
gnome-terminal especially, a bit faster for Opera, normal for nautilus,
synaptic or wicd.
* Happens both under Gnome and XFCE.
* Seems linked to GTK applications.
* No problems with decorators, and though the computer is not using Compiz I
tested it and it didn't change anything.
* Doesn't seem to be a hardware issue since live cds of different other
distributions seem to work fine.
* Doesn't seem related to CPU issues either, it is not used that much.
Strangely, top shows two instances of Xorg — but killing the inactive one
doesn't help.
* The memory seems also fine, the swap is barely used.
* Tried fglrx and vesa, same issue. Moreover, glxgears seems fine.
I have not much to add, apart from the few attached files. I think won't able
to contribute to this report anymore, as I am going to install immediately
Karmic — as it is, the system is too much a pain to be usable. Last thing I
will try : I just noticed that SCIM is defunct, I am going to reboot afer
desactivating it and let you know.
