Ubuntu 10.04 I've caught this bug.
this - https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control- center/+bug/147045/comments/15 solves the problem. Here is the content of my .gtkrc-2.0 # -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT include "/usr/share/themes/Glossy/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" include "/home/connie/.gtkrc.mine" # -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT after clearing this file gnome-appearance-properties closes and frees resources. Otherwise it eats CPU. This happen on two of three user accounts on my home comp. The content of the .gtkrs-2.0 the same. On the third account there is no .gtkrc-2.0 and g-a-p works normal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147045 Title: gnome-appearance-properties hogs processor even after close -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
