Description:
Description of Problem: System monitor hung when scrolling upwards on
the list of all processes


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Notice that the CPU load in the System Monitor toolbar graph is
showing 50% user and 50% system
2. Right click on the graph to bring up the detailed system monitor
3. Fart around trying to find rogue process - then notice that you're
only looking at your own processes
4. Select the "View All Processes" option from the combo box
5. try to scroll up the screen as the browse widget now is positioned in
the middle of the list
6. System Monitor hangs and puts up Bug Buddy

Actual Results:


Expected Results:


How often does this happen? Just the once when I noticed that the CPU
load applet was showing roughly 50% user and 50% system time
consistently for 10 mins.  I went to the detailed system monitor to find
out what was going on and when I clicked on "Show All Processes" and
then tried to scroll upwards, the process hung and came up with the
bug-buddy screen.


Additional Information: I don't think this is a serious bug - more of a
process hanging and taking the system monitor with it.  I only report it
in case there is an underlying problem with some GNOME 2 code.  I had
only recently swithced the PC on, and had done no more than check my
e-mails with Evolution and run Red Carpet to find any new updates - so
there should not have been any rogue processes.
