Could you give more information about your workaround?

I shall try it tonight.

RE: [Bug 162134] Re: window-list freezes gnome-panel
As workaround, I suggest: 1. Grouping windows (should help a little), 2. Not using the window-list in a vertical manner (seems to have a special problem to use the available space when vertical). The crash started on Gutsy, but the use of available space problem was already there on Feisty. The difference is that on Feisty we could set our own size limits, so setting a higher minimum size would allow it to use more of the available space on gnome-applet. -- window-list freezes gnome-panel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162134 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

RE: [Bug 162134] Re: window-list freezes gnome-panel
Greetings, I can't confirm that gnome-panel always takes 100% of CPU when it freezes. I did once notice that my system decided to be disc-intensive and I figured it was the frozen gnome-panel doing it for an unknown reason. I figured that a disc intensive process would probably also be CPU intensive, so I ran top and found the gnome-panel eating CPU. I then found out that it was frozen again, so I killall'ed it and the problem went away. In any case, my system remains usable when gnome-panel freezes. It's just that I can't start anything that depends on the panel, so if I don't have an open terminal, I need to go to the console to do anything related to launching an application. IMHO, there are two related problems to be fixed: 1. Fix the freeze when window-list can't acomodate more windows in its limited space (add scroll buttons?), and 2. Make the window-list properly use its available space instead of always taking the hard coded minimum size also as maximum size. It looks like someone decided to remove the size settings on window-list because they were a bad workaround to this problem but forgot to fix the problem itself.
