[tlug] iBus CPU Cycles Hog

[CL <az.4tlug@example.com>]

Upgraded to Xubuntu 10.10 this week and finally have iBus working ... in 
a manner of speaking (keyboard on/off commands don't work, but mouse 
clicks do) ... and at a cost.  According to System Monitor, the sharp 
increase in CPU use I am experiencing is due to:

python /usr/share/ibus/ui/gtk/main.py

hogging 98~100% of the cycles of one CPU core.  I have also noticed that 
iBus never sleeps or zombies.  It runs constantly, unlike everything 
else on this box.

Have I done something in my setup to cause this?  Before I think too 
much and break this, does anyone have any experience with this problem 
and ideas on how to stop the 24/7 speed freak festival?
