gtk file selection box freezes, maxing cpu

[doctordruidphd]

This is a strange problem, and it's been going on for a few weeks now.
In gtk applications, when the file open box appears, either for saving or loading files, the whole application freezes. This is a quad cpu system, and gkrellm shows one of the cpus being pegged at 100%. Eventually it drops out, and the selection box works. This happens in gimp and firefox; OOo seems to be using a different file selection box, that does not have this problem.
More of an annoyance than anything else, but it shouldn't be doing that. Anyone else notice this?

no sir not hear I just clicked file open in firefox and browsed around a bit then opend the gimp and did the same browsed around a bit and opend a .xpm file then closed it and at no time did top show a marked rise in CPU or did the open file windows not respond.
