Qole,

When testing Gnumeric v1.9.16, it would hang (high CPU usage) when trying to open .xls and .gnumeric files... now with v1.9.17 that problems seems to be gone. But I notice that when running under your m5-v2 debian image the problem persists... under your m5 debian image no such problem.

--denis

Edit: The theme configured in this m5-v2 image appears to trip Gnumeric... I don't know how to disable the theme fully for LXDE sessions, but from the chroot cli commenting the contents of ~/.gtkrc-2.0 to disable the theme allows Gnumeric to work. The problem occurs just as Gnumeric has read a spreadsheet and is ready to display it... that's where this new thme nails down Gnumeric and makes it starts using all of the CPU.
