Bug Description

Binary package hint: ibus

This bug occurred immediately upon upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10beta. I noticed my system was running sluggishly so I checked top to see that a python process was taking up 89%-100% CPU. ps -ejH showed the following sequence:

    1 1 1 ? 00:00:00 init
 1323 1323 1323 ? 00:00:00 gdm-binary
 1444 1323 1323 ? 00:00:00 gdm-simple-slav
 1625 1625 1625 tty7 00:00:44 Xorg
 1996 1323 1323 ? 00:00:00 gdm-session-wor
 2145 2145 2145 ? 00:00:00 gnome-session
 2183 2183 2145 ? 00:00:02 ibus-daemon
 2220 2183 2145 ? 00:00:00 ibus-gconf
 2222 2183 2145 ? 00:25:00 python

which leads me to believe it is a bug in ibus-daemon, calling python to do some infinite task.

To clarify my terminal output, since launchpad collapsed my white space: Xorg and gdm-session-wor are at the same level, both of them under gdm-simple-slav, and ibus-gconf and python are at the same level, both of them under ibus-daemon. python (2222) is definitely the child process of ibus-daemon (2183) and process 2222 is the one top shows using between 89% and 100% of CPU.
