First a bit of an aside: 1) "quartz-wm --only-proxy" is essentially a no-op. Go ahead and delete it. 2) I recommend you use the system xinitrc And do the following: rm ~/.xinitrc mkdir ~/.xinitrc.d cat > ~/xinitrc.d/90-kde.sh <<EOF . /sw/bin/init.sh export KDEWM=quartz-wm exec /sw/bin/startkde &> /tmp/kde.log EOF ---- As far as the CPU usage, I wish I could reproduce it, but I have no idea whatsoever... Does this happen to you if you use kwm (or whatever the KDE "normal" WM binary is) for your KDEWM? Does this happen if you don't use KDE? Maybe try changing the /sw/bin/startkde to just 'exec xterm' and try stepping though the startkde shell script piece by piece until you find the X client that is triggering this issue... that may provide a clue as to the underlying cause.

Hi,

just for the sake of it I've installed alpha2 - same effect, the CPU goes crazy up to 100% :-(

I did two tests - with no difference - but maybe it helps to figure out why that happens

1) xinitrc reads like this (plus all options of "enable syncing" are on)

. /sw/bin/init.sh

export KDEWM=quartz-wm quartz-wm --only-proxy & /sw/bin/startkde>/tmp/kde.log 2>&1

see console file www.loyolaproductions.com/munich/console.txt see sample of the process www.loyolaproductions.com/munich/sample_of_x11.txt

2) xinitrc reads like this and I disabled all "Pasteboard" options in the X11 preferences

. /sw/bin/init.sh

#export KDEWM=quartz-wm #quartz-wm --only-proxy & /sw/bin/startkde>/tmp/kde.log 2>&1

see console file www.loyolaproductions.com/munich/console_no_pasteboard.txt see sample of the process www.loyolaproductions.com/munich/sample_of_x11_no_pasteboard.txt

any idea? - I am back to 2.3.2_beta1 :-)

ciao christof
