[shifter-users] 100% CPU bug on *nix - [SOLVED], sort of...

[Antoine Martin]

Hi all,

Many of you have been reporting the "processes use 100% cpu" bug
recently, which has a bug entry here:
http://winswitch.org/trac/ticket/90
I believe newer Linux distros have started shipping libraries
which make it unavoidable to trigger this bug.

Now, the good news is the bug has been found thanks to exarkun:
http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/4658#comment:16
The bad news is that it is a PyGTK bug I can do nothing about:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640738

So if you get high cpu usage, bug your distro and/or PyGTK to release
the fix which has been provided.

Cheers
Antoine
