STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1) Start our app (Firefox, Seamonkey, Thunderbird, whatever; make sure it's a
   GTK2 build)
2) Open some windows (a dozen should be good)
3) Open gnome-control-center
4) Select the "themes" item
5) Switch the current theme

EXPECTED RESULTS: Theme changes, all is well

ACTUAL RESULTS: Theme changes, app starts taking 100% CPU. Been that way for 10+ minutes now. Sysprof says 25% of time in libXft, the rest of the time in libgkgfx. Sadly, this is a release (stripped and all) build, so that's all sysprof can tell me....

I'm told that if I wait long enough the app might start responding again. Maybe.
