Description Markus Kanet 2009-03-10 20:23:34 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When logged in to the desktop, the X process (not gnome-session) starts up eating 100% of one of my two CPU cores.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install GNOME 2.25.92
2. Log in and wait until the desktop is loaded
3. X starts using 100% of a single CPU core.


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?


Other information:
This issue must have been introduced between 2.25.3 and 2.25.5. 2.25.3 works well, starting with 2.25.5 i have the above problem.

I forgot to give some details about the system being used:

BlueWhite64 12.2 and Slackware 12.2
Kernel 2.6.27.7
xorg-server-1.4.2
xrandr-1.2.3

GNOME 2.25.92 compiled from source using the official sources.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.

The solution is to update the x server (it's not a GNOME bug)
