Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

When logging into gnome the printer applet will sometimes hang gnome panel

I used strace to find out where the problem, was

line 1026: waitloop.run() of /user/share/system-config-printer/applet.py

Im using NIS, and this may be a contributing factor however there are only 2 computers on the network which can copy around 60-110 meg a second.

What makes you think that it's the printer applet causing the panel to be behaving incorrectly?

the panel is not at fault AFAIK, its just that when starting the panel, the printer applet is hanging gnome completely. and that line of python is where it hangs.

What leads you to conclude the printer applet (rather than anything else) is the cause?
