[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 628372] Re: Docky freezes in zeitgeist-gio when launching application

[Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen]

I bit of ping ponging with Michal Hruby has led me to believe that this
is almost certainly some threading issue of some sort.

I change in the zeitgeist-gio code that is very likely to fix this would
be to defer all the zg-gio logic into an idle handler - which is
probably the right thing to do anyway...

I've milestoned it for this weeks Unity updates so I don't forget about
this issue - let's cross fingers that it's the right fix :-)

Bug description:
Binary package hint: docky

Since today's (kernel) updates Docky freezes when launching an -- previously not running -- application from the dock. The icon jump animation isn't shown, the mouseover stays on screen, and Docky becomes completely unresponsive.

Launching applications in other way or minimizing/maximizing windows doesn't freeze Docky.

I'm using
Ubuntu version: Maverick alpha
Docky version: 2.1.0 vzr docky r1620 ppa
Kernal version: 2.6.35.19
CLR version: 2.0.50727.1433
