Description Volodymyr Khomchak 2009-02-16 16:01:14 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I have very annoying bug  with gnome-appearance process, this process uses 100% of my CPU after I changed background image or do some changes in desktop background.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Log into Gnome
2. Right click on the Desktop
3. Select Change Desktop Background 
4. Just close Appearance window  
5. Run top in CLI

Actual results:
TOP output:

PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
13320 kolombo  20   0 20592 4344 3220 R   95  0.4   0:27.74 gnome-appearanc

gnome-appearance process shouldn't hang
