High CPU usage with murrine progressbars

[Vish]

Binary package hint: xorg

I noticed that the Xorg CPU usage is ~40% only when xchat window was open. this seems to be due to the progressbars.
It happens only If I enable view > network meters > graph [which is a progress bar]

Also happens when I use the widget factory to preview themes. There is a progressbar preview which shows how the theme will render the progressbar.

This happens only when the murrine engine is rendering the progressbar. [does not happen with clearlooks/industrial engines]

Also happens when updating the repos using the "reload" in synaptic. similar to Bug #355355 , but now even higher CPU usage , previously it was ~30% , now ~40%

But does not happen with the progressbars in Transmission bittorrent client or the progress bars in evolution during send/receieve.

Bug 355355 , is probably also a similar regression which wasnt caught in time

[Vish (vish)]

Oops , not an xorg-edgers issue.... Others using stock lucid are also facing the bug.

[Krzysztof Klimonda (kklimonda)]

Confirmed in xchat - probably the real culprit of all other bugs related to the gtk-csd?

[Conn O Griofa (psyke83)]

This seems to be a duplicate of #523949, which is a general performance regression caused by the client-side decorations patch.

[Vish (vish)]

Unduping. I mentioned it to the desktop team. They wanted to leave this as separate bugs for now.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package gtk+2.0 - 2.19.5-1ubuntu5

---------------
gtk+2.0 (2.19.5-1ubuntu5) lucid; urgency=low
