Bug#583806: iceape-browser uses 97% cpu when sitting idle

[markhobley at yahoo.co.uk]

Package: iceape-browser
Version: 2.0.4-1
Severity: important


The iceape browser uses 97% cpu when sitting idle. This causes the window
manager and other applications to slow to a crawl. Mouse and keyboard actions
are delayed whilst waiting for iceape to catchup.

This seems to be happening at ten second intervals. The system is fine for
10 seconds, then iceape kicks in and hogs the cpu for 10 seconds, and then
the system is fine again for 10 seconds before iceape starts hogging the cpu
again. The problem is intermittent: sometimes the system is fine (I guess it
eventually becomes stable and iceape just sits there). If the system is stable
and you click on an iceape window, the problem will reoccur, and iceape will
start hogging the cpu again.
