Bug Description
ON Dell Latitude D820
Compiz Fusion enabled
nVidia Binary Driver
I first noticed this behavior when trying to change the desktop background. I opened up the manager, selected the Background tab, and clicked on a picture from my library of background photos. Nothing seemed to happen. The expected result would be that the wallpaper would change to the newly selected image.
Further investigation showed that when the dialogue is open, CPU usage is abnormally high.
