There were certain plasmoids causing the Xorg problem. This has been fixed. If Amarok is doing it, kill pulseaudio and see if that helps. The first time I noticed runaway Xorg/Plasma-desktop CPU usage was playing with pulseaudio. The actual culprits were some hal and dbus stuff but if I killed that, KDE would not restart. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
