Terminal App in XFCE-panel consumes 100% CPU
#!/bin/hi *
I have a seperated xfce-panel which contains a list of launchers on the desktop's right edge. Within the list of launchers I have a "terminal --geometry=140x40".
Every now and then exactly this app is started in the background, consuming up to 100% CPU (look at PID 6490 and PPID 5785):

However the terminal window (PID 6490) is _not_ visible though it consumes up to 100% CPU. If I don't kill the process by myself, the panel will start launching other terminal windows as well. I can't pinpoint why this happens, and it happens only with terminal apps. I tried it with gnome-terminal as well. However, I do have other launchers in the panel like Opera and Thunderbird, Thunar and gVim, which are not launched.
Anyone any ideas?
BTW: I'm currently running the latest Git-Sources
$ xfce4-panel --version
xfce4-panel 4.9.0git-90e1508 (Xfce 4.10)
