gnome-appearance-properties 100% loads one of CPU cores

[Ansus]

Binary package hint: gnome

gnome-appearance-properties 100% loads one of CPU cores, this continues even after the window is closed (the process still remains in the memory and continues to load CPU until it is killed with System monitor). This does not depend on the user's actions and begins just as the properties window is opened.

This is observed under Ubuntu 8.04 with all updates as of June 17, 2008.

thanks for your report, may you tell us which version of gnome-control-center and libgnome-desktop-2 do you have installed? are you running compiz? does it happens without it? thanks!.

[Ansus (neptunia)]

gnome-control-center 2.22.1-0ubuntu4.1
libgnome-desktop-2 2.22.2-0ubuntu3

No I do not use Compiz.

By the way, I found that some themes, all controls previews in controls selection dialogue and all icon theme previews are not displayed proprly, with big question mark on them. This may be the cause for the CPU load.

seems similar to bug #147045, could you read the description and comment on whether you have a similar configuration?

[Ansus (neptunia)]

Seems similar. Now I do not experience this bug because I reinstalled the system. This was caused by some packages I installed from the repository (do not remember which ones exactly). I would be OK if you mark it as duplicate.
