Comment 15 for bug 483957

The problem of GIMP FREEZING has fully returned in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx.
It is very annoying and happens usually during use of FILTERS, especially DROP SHADOW.

The point is that it does not happen constantly.
One time it happens with the first photograph,
the other time only until the fifth photo.

Most of the time it causes the computer to freeze completely,
not being able to control any window and to shut down (only the hard way)

I found out that GIMP causes AT-SPI-REGISTRYD to freeze.

I've tried to close down as many applications as possible to see if there is any interference.
But it doesn't have any effect.

BUT WHAT DOES HELP, IS DISABLING OR NOT TOUCHING THE MOUSE DURING THE USE OF FILTERS !
It looks like that (even very subtle movement) of the mouse during running the filter, causes Gimp to freeze.

I hope this will help all of you to run GIMP and to help to rigorously solving this problem.

Ps. GIMP runs perfectly in Windows7.
