>Description:
The ports/x11-toolkits/gtk20/files/patch-gtk_gtkiconcache.c patch causes xfce4 applications to take a VERY long time to start up and use 100% CPU.

With a complete xfce4 installation on a dual P-III 1GHz system 1GB of RAM, it takes 7:24 to start an Xfce4 session with this patch applied.  If gtk+ is installed without the patch, the same login takes 0:21.  Further individual Xfce4 applications consume 100% CPU while starting.  Terminal takes 0:49 to start with the patch vs. < 0:02 without
>How-To-Repeat:
Install and use an Xfce4 desktop
>Fix:
Remove ports/x11-toolkits/gtk20/files/patch-gtk_gtkiconcache.c and reinstall GTK+
