It seems to me like an idle handler has been setup and it is being
invoked repeatedly.  

This is the first bug report of this kind I have seen.  It might be
due to a problem in your libraries.

Which OS are you running, which versions of the gnome components are
you running?

Could you try to figure out which routines are being invoked
internally?
