Bug Description

Hi, here is my first bug report here:

Every GTK application on my Kubuntu 10.10 (x64) successfully upgraded from 10.04 (2 days ago, before everything ok) freezes when I try to use some GUI feature -- checkbox (when "checking" not unchecking), radio buttons when changing radio, and in gtk "filebrowser" dialog when changing the directory.

libgtk2.2-0 (2.22.0-0ubuntu1)
KDE 4.51

One core of CPU goes to 100% imidiately.

Occurs in Pidgin, Gimp, Eclipse, wicd, wireshark

No problem in Qt apps.

Everything fine if I start this apps as root!

Problem appeared after upgrade.

Yey, of course. Here it is. Sorry for slowly response.

It looks like a click on some feature does mean play some sound? Is there some quick operative solution for this bug?

Ok, i find here http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=11847 how to disable event sounds .. appending these two lines to ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4:

gtk-enable-event-sounds = 0
gtk-enable-input-feedback-sounds = 0

It helped me - enough for me - but can I help you with something?

I also had this problem since upgrading to raring.

Removing libcanberra-gtk-module seems to fix it .

Am getting something similar to this but don't known where to start debugging it. Removing libcanberra-gtk-module doesn't fix the problem.

Doing a

   $ lsof | grep libcanberra

gets me a bunche of matches on files from libcanberra0. Trying to remove that offers to install a bunch of new packages, but removes a number of other things I use. Am using trusty.
