I was able to solve this by removing/renaming the file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css The file appears to contain several customized gradients that are applied to panel applets, on top of whatever theme is already in use.
1. Rename or remove ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css 2. Kill the process panel-(number)-indica 3. If prompted, click 'Execute' to restart the plugin After doing this, process panel-14-indica went from 5% cpu to 0%, and stayed at 0%. Replacing the gtk.css file, and killing and restarting the indicator plugin, reversed the process and raised the cpu usage again. For me, changing which GTK theme I was using had no effect. I am using Xubuntu 16.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1583164 Title: Panel Indicator uses 25% cpu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-indicator-plugin/+bug/1583164/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
