Hello everyone,
I'm using openbox as my window manager and tint2 as a panel. To configure the network I set up the NetworkManager service and to add a GUI I installed the nm-applet. Everything has been working for almost two days, but after some apparently unrelated tweaks (can't remember the exact moment), the applet not only stopped working (not showing the icon in the tray) but also started consuming 50% of the CPU (a whole core), or 100% as shown by top.
I don't know where this issue could be coming from. I haven't installed any network related packages after nm-applet. The last things I remember doing are: Installing libreoffice and beaver from the official repositories and after that tweaking the xfce4-notifyd theme config files. I'm almost sure the applet was working fine after those tweaks but I can't recall the exact moment when it stopped working.
Where should I start looking for the issue? Any clues?
Should you require any additional information don't hesitate to ask!

After a bit of searching I found the package network-manager-applet-gtk2 from the AUR, installing that not only worked perfectly but has let me use a gtk2 theme for all my applications (which I prefer).
I'm still interested in this bug anyway so I'd like help to keep looking. It appears that it's gtk3 that's giving me trouble, does that help in any way to diagnose the problem?
