Lockup issues with gtk 2.10.14-1. Please upgrade to 2.10.14-2


The GTK 2.10.14-1 package, which was compiled with glib 2.14.0, contains a bug due to a change in glib. The change causes deadlocks with 100% CPU usage in applications that don't initialize GTK correctly. This happens with OpenOffice.org or Flash when used inside a KDE or Qt environment.
New versions of glib2 and gtk2 have been uploaded to the repositories. Be sure to get gtk2 2.10.14-2 when facing these problems. Another possibility is to downgrade to 2.10.13, which was compiled against an older version of glib2 which doesn't have the change.
