Description Frederic Peters 2012-05-21 08:00:06 UTC 
(git master: a3bbb7be14e6b4dc351b728259309dcf2c0f0946)

It happens gnome-shell will start using all CPU and grow in size quite often when switching workspace; after a while it looks like it only happens when I switch (using the ctrl-alt-down) to the workspace where I have two empathy windows, the contact list and a xmpp room.

Trying to get something out of tracebacks, I finally found a breakpoint on clutter_text_buffer_set_text proved useful, it shows a neverending list of calls, alternating "About Empathy" and "Quit" as second parameter (chars).

The only place where I see those strings is the application menu.
