Does this condition arise randomly, or do you know what to do to provoke it? I am still unable to reproduce it, but I swear I saw the same thing 3-4 times after I installed rc3. It was before I knew how to sample it, so I cannot claim it was the same, but I saw the 100% cpu  load by the idle process -- by idle I mean undisturbed by user events. It is interesting that it did go down substantially while I used it, and returned to 100% as soon as I left it alone.

Also, I suspect that it is caused by something outside X11, because whenever this condition arose, restarting the server did not help; it went away only after system restart.

Hi Gene, it goes randomly - sometimes it takes up to 3 minutes, sometimes shorter - if you do nothing on your macbook than the fan goes up - its heating up quite a bit - I did some testing today installed 2.3.2_beta1 - where the CPU does not go crazy at all www.lp-muc.com/console_msg_beta1.txt www.lp-muc.com/kcminit_beta1.crash www.lp-muc.com/ksplash_beta1.crash installed 2.3.2_rc4 - where the CPU does go crazy www.lp-muc.com/console_msg_rc4.txt www.lp-muc.com/kcminit_rc4.crash www.lp-muc.com/ksplash_rc4.crash in both cases the pastboard is disabled and no klipper is running, in both cases I got two crash reports kcminit.crash and ksplash.crash, do those have anything to do with it? ciao christof -- public key www.hfph.mwn.de/~chwolf/chwolf.asc Please respect my privacy and do not make my contact information available to third parties.
