Hello,
I've noticed that if Gnome Terminal has "transparency" turned on, and there is no desktop pattern, the system slows to an absolute crawl. Top shows the gnome-terminal is taking 90% of the CPU and load average jumps from 0.1 to around 2.0.
This seems like a clear bug in Gnome Terminal; however the only bug report I found (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=107976) on this issue was marked "NOTABUG" by Warren Togami. I understand his point that once x.org supports true alpha-channel transparency, this will be easier to fix, but, I disagree strongly with his assesment of the issue as "NOTABUG."
I think this is pretty serious and should be fixed; my suggestion is for Gnome Terminal to check for a desktop wallpaper and if there is not one to refuse to become transparent.
Is there a way to re-open this bug? Is Havoc Pennington still the maintainer of Gnome Terminal?
Thanks for reading,
Aaron Bennett
