CPU Usage & Processes With KDE
I have noticed 99-100% usage of my CPU for the last few days with gkrellm and
wanted to post the results of a 'ps aux'. I hope someone on this list will
be able to glance at it and tell me what's wrong (and possibly how to correct
it).
This situation does not occur with other window managers (icebox, blackbox,
fluxbox, etc.) but only with KDE. I assume the messaging and
inter-application communication layer is responsible.
