Created attachment 334166 [details] X session errors caused by enabling SCIM Description of problem: After updating libgxim to release 0.3.2-4.fc10, xterm shows some regression: when running a program with a noticeable amount of text output (e.g. 'ls -R /'), then imsettings-applet starts grabbing a significant amount of CPU share of up to 10%. Note that SCIM is disabled at this point. After opening GNOME menu item "Input Method" and enabling SCIM which is disabled by default, xterm does not accept any input from the keyboard anymore unlike gnome-terminal which continues to do so. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libgxim-0.3.2-4.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open GNOME session. 2. Start a program in an xterm window producing text output. 3. Run 'top' in a different window. 4. Open "Input Method" from GNOME menu and enable SCIM. Actual results: - Noticeable CPU load caused by imsettings-applet. - Xterm unresponsive after enabling SCIM via "Input Method" dialog window. Expected results: Normal behaviour of xterm just as gnome-terminal. Additional info: Reverting libgxim to release 0.3.1-1.fc10 allows to restore normal operation.
Changed a summary to keep CPU load issue only on track here. see Bug #488877 for no response issue.
No improvement after updating to imsettings-0.105.1-4.fc10.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
We don't use imsettings-applet by default since F-11. close this as UPSTREAM.
