Ubuntu Gimp menus slow to load

Hello

Running Gimp 2.8.6 on Ubuntu 13.10, 3Gb RAM, 1.6Ghz dual core laptop.

Gimp has been working just fine until two or so weeks ago, around the same time that 13.10 became live. I had been running 13.10 in beta for a few months before that. All updates installed, even tried to un-install and re-install Gimp.

Still opening Gimp at normal speed, but now the menu (File - Edit - Select etc) takes around 10 or more seconds to appear and the drop down takes around 2-3 seconds to render. If I can remember the short cut, I can use them without the wait. When I switch from another program its menu is displayed for a while. Often have to wait for longer to get the menu back.

I tried to use Gimp alone, with only one file (4Mb .jpg) but that didn't help. Gimp takes up 125Mb ram and is not freaking out the CPU.
Anything I could do to fix it?

Please open a bug in the Ubuntu bug tracker. Then they can investigate if one of their changes to GTK+ et al may have caused this.

Thanks Michael, I will try to get my head around bug reporting, I have only reported ones that ubuntu created for me, never done it manually.

Does it also happen in a new UNIX user account? What is your desktop environment? Please report those things in the Ubuntu bug that you will file.

I managed to report it as a bug on Launchpad and it looks like I'm not alone https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/1245155

Have you tried either logging in as a new user or renaming your ~/.gimp-2.8 directory?

That won't help if the "global menu stuff from unity", as mentioned in a comment to the bug in Launchpad, is the cause for that.
