High cpu usage on Xorg with gnome-terminal and transparency

I meant, "Under FEISTY my hardware configuration performed fine"

I have something similiar, but I'm not sure it is the same or not. Here's my case after upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy.

When I load netvibes in firefox and dragging the widget, it is showing very high cpu-usage (nearly 100%). This phenomenon happened when I was viewing large image using comix and dragging around. There's another case, which is when I open the screensaver but I'm not sure whether this is normal or not.

Was performed fine in Feisty too.

Hi jaime-lopez,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? (ISOs are available from cdimage.ubuntu.com)

If it remains an issue, could you also attach a new /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
Thanks in advance.

The output of lspci -vvnn would also be worth having.

The issue was fixed for me by start enabling desktop effects, somewhere between gutsy and hardy. But this is not an actual fix, but a workaround.

The interesting thing here is that it was probably never fixed, because disabling desktop effects gives me a gnome-terminal without the transparency feature, that caused the trouble. In Edit -> Profile -> Effects -> Transparent Background, I can change the setting without any effect. And of course without triggering the CPU usage bug.

IMHO, the transparency effect was very poor without composite, and should be completely removed from the preferences of gnome-terminal if it is not enabled.

The 18 month support period for Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 has reached its end of life -
http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-7.10-eol . As a result, we are closing the
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 task. It would be helpful if you could test the
new Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 release and confirm if this issue remains -
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904overview. If the issue still exists with the Jaunty
release, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux (Ubuntu)"
task from "Incomplete" to "New". Thanks in advance.

This bug report was marked as Incomplete and has not had any updated comments for quite some time. As a result this bug is being closed. Please reopen if this is still an issue in the current Ubuntu release http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . Also, please be sure to provide any requested information that may have been missing. To reopen the bug, click on the current status under the Status column and change the status back to "New". Thanks.
