Even if lowering the priority did help, I'm not sure if it's the best
solution, as in the past I've had to raise Grace's priority (via
reducing its nice value to -1) in order to keep latency at an acceptable
level.  Before I did that, sometimes I'd hear gaps in playback when
playing notes via mp:midi.

I should note, however, that I observed the 14% to 34% CPU use at idle
happened without any mucking around with priorities or nice levels.

I have no problems getting the Open dialog or opening files using it on
Gentoo Linux.

I notice that the error message you pasted above mentions glib2.0-2.30.0

I'm using glibc-2.13-r4 on my system.  Perhaps that accounts for the
difference?  I don't know what widget toolkit Grace uses to get the Open
dialog on Linux, but perhaps there's a version difference for that
between your Ubuntu system and my Gentoo system too.
