Hoi,

Animated simleys use too much cpu in pidgin. When filed as a bug, pidgin developers stated that its a gdk bug, and they wont fix it...

is it really a gdk bug?

No, it is just convenient for the pidgin guys to say so. Considering they have not even gone to the trouble of reporting it with some hints on why they think so, I'm not taking that very seriously...
