Gummi editor hangs every several seconds

[Benoît Rouits]

The ubuntu packaged version of gummi is almost unusable since the editor area hangs on keyboard and mouse every several seconds, for about 10 seconds. However, it is still possible to use the rest of the application (menus, ...) with the mouse pointer.

A workaround is to click on "save" menu action every time it hangs. Then hanging is relaxed for the next seconds, which allow one ton continue to type a few words.
