When you switch to "away" mode in licq, it pops up a dialog asking for the "away message". When you attempt to dismiss this dialog, it does not go close, and licq's CPU usage goes to 100%. This happens when using qt 3.1 (but not 3.0.5). This link provides a full description: http://www.mail-archive.com/licq-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01562.html I am not sure if it is a bug with licq or with qt, but Thomas Reitelbach has provided a patch to workaround this problem here: http://www.mail-archive.com/licq-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01637.html
Forgot to mention my licq build is version 1.2.0a-r1, although this probably affects all versions.
Created attachment 6083 [details, diff] patch with directories modified to suit gentoo
Created attachment 6084 [details] new ebuild which applies above patch I've added the patch and modified the ebuild for 1.2.0a-r1 to use it. Works for me.
thanks, committed.
