Been there, seen that. create a file in ~/.gnome called xalf
/home/<username>/.gnome/xalf (regular users)
/root/.gnome/xalf (for the root user)
in it place the following two lines:
[settings]
enabled=false
Save and run with it. xalf is a piece of eye candy that doesn't
seem to work with the latest updates. In specific, it provides
the little task bar hour glass when applications are busy.
