I don't see any unanswered requests for more information on this bug, so marking as 'confirmed'.
If you need additional information, I'll be happy to supply it; the bug is completely reproducible for me here, and I'm unpleasantly reminded of it every time I visit my appearance settings because my laptop suddenly gets very hot and I have to hunt down the processes. Now that I've seen this bug report and the workarounds mentioned within, I've moved aside my .gtkrc-2.0 and things seem to be better, but I can easily restore the broken behavior as needed for testing. ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- gnome-appearance-properties hogs processor even after close https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147045 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
