another occurrence, same symptoms, last evening, was watching a youtube
video.
i logged in via ssh, attached to tmux, launched htop, and started
killing as you requested, in the following order, usually signal 15 but
sometimes 9 if so noted below, if the name is postfixed with -- that
means the process did not disappear from htop, --Z means the "S" column
in htop then showed a Z, ++ means it was immediately respawned:
pulseaudio
pavucontrol
bluetooth-manager
xclock
xterm (this one did disappear)
vncviewer
x-window-manager-- (ie twm)
accounts-daemon
bluman-applet
xterm--Z
firefox-esr
ssh
rtkit-daemon
systemd-udev++
systemd-logind++
ssh-agent--
systemd-timesyncd++
systemd-resolved++
cron
bluetoothd
systemd --user
polkitd
login -p
at this point the console blanked and presented a login prompt. ctl-
alt-Fn still would not function, however i was able to login at the
console and attach to tmux. xorg remained on the process list still
consuming cpu as evident in the htop display at this point:

occasionally during the above batch of kills i checked whether ctl-alt-

work* (xinit and startx both disappeared now tho xorg still present and
consuming ~90% cpu). resuming kills:

xorg finally gone now.
tried to re-launch xorg, failed.
tried apport-collect 1757299, failed, needed python3-launchpadlib.
installed python3-launchpadlib.
tried apport-collect 1757299, failed to launch a browser to authorize with
launchpad.
left box running and grabbed some sleep and breakfast.
observed /var/crash contains only .lock with same date&time as
/var/log/apport.log from last evening.
installed gpm, w3m, and links2.
apport-collect 1757299 succeeded.

Title:
[Dell OptiPlex 755] Intermittently GUI hangs with high xorg CPU% after
launching applications
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
The problem is that after launching a few applications, the GUI may
become unresponsive, although this is not consistently reproducible.
When the GUI is unresponsive, it is correlated to high CPU utilization
of xorg.
An example reproduction scenario is launch the following in order, and
quickly:
startx
xterm via twm
another xterm via the first xterm
tmux
firefox-esr
bluetooth-manager
pavucontrol
While the above are launching, maximize the xterm running tmux, and
the GUI immediately becomes unresponsive. For example, Ctrl+Alt+Fn
don't respond.
After this, I logged in via ssh, attached to tmux, launched htop,
copied htop output, which shows xorg at 94.6 CPU%.
