Title:
/usr/share/ibus/ui/gtk/main.py blocks at 100% when applications are
minimised

Bug description:
When I minimise applications such as thunderbird and firefox, they
frequently sit in the unity launcher with the application icon and
arrow flickering and my computer becomes frozen for up to 5 mins.
Checking top shows me that compiz and a python script are both having
a fight with python at 100%. Investigating further shows me that the
python script causing the problem is /usr/share/ibus/ui/gtk/main.py
This is most annoying, and I have now encountered the same problem on
two separate computers running Quantal with different graphics cards.
I have ibus and ibus-anthy installed on both of them.
In case it is useful, I found an old thread reporting a similar
problem in 2010 with Ubuntu 10.10 [1]. Then the solution appears to
have been to upgrade to the latest version of ibus (1.3 at the time).
I don't know if upgrading to the latest development release would
solve the problem. If a launchpad PPA for a bleeding edge version of
ibus was available for Quantal, I'd be happy to test it.
Cheers.
