Summary: Task bar animated icon resource leak Product: Wine Version: 1.3.28 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: sprog@online.ru
If any win32 application has an animated icon wine will exhaust both memory and X server resources.
If you start a win32 application in Wine with an animated icon (like The Bat) you will immediately notice an initial 6-7 times higher CPU usage by X server (like 7-11% instead of 2-3), with time the processor usage would increase and eventually, depending on memory, it will lock down the system.
I'm not sure if this is KDE or Wine problem.
KDE 4.6.5 amd64, gentoo xorg 1.10.4
