Description of problem: gnome-terminal consumes 64% of CPU time (34% goes to X) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RedHat 8.0, gnome-terminal-2.0.1-5 How reproducible: Always. Start the RH 8.0 wokstation (actually a Compaq Presario 1800 laptop) with Gnome Desktop; activate an xterm with "top" on an xterm, lauch gnome-terminal, and the idle process become 0.0% (from 98%); cpu time is consume Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the RH 8.0 wokstation (actually a Compaq Presario 1800 laptop) with Gnome Desktop 2. activate "top" on an xterm 3. look at the idle time (mine is 98%) 4. lauch gnome-terminal 5. observe the xterm Actual results: the idle time becomes 0.0% (from 98%); cpu time is consumed totally by gnome-terminal+X Expected results: never had problems with gnome-terminal Additional info: The problem appeared recently, probably after an upgrade; I suspect the offending package could be from glibc-2.2.93-5 to glibc-2.3.2-4.80 but not sure about this.
Aaargh, I should have searched better ! As explained in #81018 upgraded vte (vte-0.10.25-1.i386.rpm from RawHide), made a symbolic link (/usr/lib/libvte.so.2 -> /usr/lib/libvte.so.4) to make gnome-terminal-2.0.1-5 happy and all is fine again. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 81018 ***
