Ubuntu 10.10 Performance issues with transmission or ktorrent indicator applet

[Jon Grant]

Anyone else seeing problems with indicator applet? When apps are 
minimised there, I can no longer open the windows, or close them.. 
ktorrent and transmission being best examples.

they are still running though:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND

  4337 jon       20   0  153m  30m  13m S  100  0.8   3:21.29 
transmission


Thanks for any tips

Jon
