[Bug 52405] Re: gnome-panel eats 50% cpu for half an hour and flickers

[Vincent Carriere]

After trying "gnome-session-remove gnome-panel; MENU_VERBOSE=1
GNOME_PANEL_DEBUG=1 BONOBO_ACTIVATION_DEBUG_OUTPUT=1 gnome-panel 2>
~/Desktop/panel-debug.txt"  and reading the output, the events
"file:///etc/xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu" created, marking tree for
recanonicalization" seems to make gnome-panel loops.

gnome-menus try to write to the symlink /etc/xdg/debian-menu.menu.  In
my system this symlink is inactive (it points to  /var/lib/menu-
xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu which doesn't exist).

If you delete this symlink, the menu works perfectly.
