I also confirm I have this bug since I installed Ubuntu 13.10, did not see it on 13.04 (or it wasn't so bad). I used GIMP these days and the laptop becomes unresponsive from time to time, the menus do not open or they open after lots of time, etc. This is no way of using the computer..
Just found this topic, I was hoping we are lots so it can be more easily tracked.

I killed it before my machine overheated, so I didn't attach a debugger to see why it was totally pegging out a CPU. I'm not sure if this adds any context, but I was using a LibreOffice spreadsheet and I could not insert a table because the menu had lost it's mind, and then I observed the overly loaded CPU a very short while after that.
