Comment 23 for bug 147045

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.
