Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.30.2-1
Severity: normal


	Hi,

	From a few days ago (maybe in some previous dist-upgrade),
gnome-terminal is taking a lot of resources from system (I mean, a lot of
time passed between I press keys to launch commands or refreshing window, and using a
ridiculous amount of CPU ~30%). Terminal is iddle, only one tab, and no
commands are executing.

	Another related problem, is that xorg main process (usr/bin/X
-nolisten tcp :0 ....) when I load gnome-terminal is consuming more CPU than
normal (~15%)

	With another terminal emulators lxterm, xterm all works fine, there
are no big resources used. I don't know if this is related to gnome-terminal
or maybe another dependency, but this is a recent behavior (last week
terminal was working ok)
