Public bug reported: 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.
