I set a background color for xfce4-notes using the custom option and the
color picker. The color changes as expected and xfce4-notes continues to
function normally.

After system restart xfce4-notes process uses 100% CPU and the notes
icon does not appear on the panel.

Screenshot of top showing the cpu at 100%:

Please attach your configuration file:

$ cat ~/.config/xfce4/xfce4-notes.gtkrc
$ xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /plugins/notes -lv

I was never able to reproduce such a bug :(

Can you try to install version 1.7.7 and see if it reproduces?

An additional comment: If I kill the offending xfce4-notes process, and
then restart by selecting Notes on the xfce4 menu the excessive CPU
usage does not resume.

Sorry, I cannot help further.

I believe having reproduced the bug, actually, but it doesn't reproduce
easily. It seems to be a race condition, it can be both in GTK+ and the
notes plugin. The cause can certainly be the theme, since GTK+ and
theming are two things that don't fit well, but I can't change anything
about this.

The solution is to simply stop / restart the plugin.

By any chance, can you tell me if you are/were using an Aurora based
theme?

I have reproduced the same symptom but with a different program and
switching to a theme different than Aurora is the only solution
currently.

It doesn't work with a lot of themes (I'm using Darklooks).

By erasing the file home/$user/.gtkrc-2.0 which contains :

# include rc style for the xfce4-notes-plugin

include "/home/nini/.config/xfce4/panel/xfce4-notes-plugin.gtkrc"

# end of automatic change

the problem seems to be solved.

Thank you for sticking with this problem and finding the issue, this is
very helpful.

I didn't expect this could happen, I will prepare a fix in the next
version to prevent this situation.

I'm sorry to add a +1, but the last comment is more than one year old.
Deleting /home/$USER/.config/xfce4/xfce4-notes.gtkrc before launching it, solve 
the issue for me.

It's still unresolved. In my case this happens when I have installed and

For me when using "PRO-Dark-XFCE-Edition 4.14" xfce4-notes get stuck
during initialization, while trying to parse xfce4-notes.gtkrc.
Switching to another theme (e.g. Greybird) it launches with any issue.

I believe this bug would be solved once this plugin gets ported to gtk3.

No custom color here,

At least once per day I have to kill this runaway notes process.
