X goes to 100% CPU on closing or iconifying windows
Hello.
I've setup a desktop system for dad and mom. The box is not too
powerful (a K6II-400 with 128Mb of ram) but with a good swap partition
it should be usable enough for a desktop system.
The box is a debian testing with OpenOffice, Nautilus and the rest of
Gnome 2. Everythig goes more or less smooth (once OpenOffice has taken
his 1 minute to load), except when closing or iconifying a window.
In that case, after pressing the WM button, X goes to 100% CPU for about
5 seconds, then the window disappears as it should. No disk activity,
only CPU. I verified with top running on an X terminal: the process
hung on the CPU is X).
I thought it could be an hardware problem of the old PCI S3 video board,
and I replaced it with an AGP ATI rage 128, with 32Mb of onboard memory.
Things are smoother, but the 5secs delay on window iconifying or closing
with X jumping on 100% CPU remains.
Do you have an idea of what this could be?
Bye,
Enrico
