Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
1. Right click on on the desktop, choose "Change Desktop Background"
2. Make sure that there are some decently sized background pictures available
for selection. If not, add them from somewhere. I tested this with 1280x1024
jpeg's
3. Click on 3 different wallpapers in sequence
4. Observe how your system becomes totally unusable for about 10 seconds while
the desktop background fades from one picture to another
This also happens when you only switch the background once, but the
above procedure shows the problem more clearly. I understand that the
fading effect might take some CPU time, but surely it should not take
*that* much (tested with Dual Core 2.7 Ghz).
