GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 163405
panel freeze, high cpu usage
Last modified: 2005-02-03 19:24:09 UTC
This has been happening for a while. I have no clue as to what the cause is, but I've a few got backtraces nevertheless (I don't always get the same, the panel still runs). The applets I use are the default ones, plus the window list, the weather applet and the multiload applet. The cpu usage is from the panel itself.
Created attachment 35695 [details] Two backtraces, the first one much more likely.
Gabriel: are you using a drawer? If so, does it happen when the drawer is closed?
I forgot this: I think this is fixed in HEAD since 2.9.3 if it's a drawer-related bug.
I'm not using any drawer. You can try to reproduce it with the attached gconf snapshot. I've just switched to panel 2.9.3 (ubuntu dependencies pushed me a bit), so I'll see if it still happens.

Still the case with gnome-panel 2.9.3 .
There should be a warning that this file contains the .gconf directory (and not a gconf dump...). Gabriel: next time it happens, could you tell me what windows are on the workspace you're on? Does switching to another workspace (using metacity keybindings) fix the problem? Is the bottom panel supposed to be centered or at the right edge of your screen? Thanks
I can not reproduce with the provided config...
I had changed my panel to the usual one (bugged by #163421, too), so I haven't reproduced the bug. Also, this doesn't stop by switching workspaces; the bottom panel is docked at the bottom right; the alt-F2 dialog is not available, but applets are.
Ok, I see the bug now and I know why it's happening. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 164259 ***
