Looks like gnome-xscreensaver went nutso after several hours. This
morning I found my FreeBSD screen about a third full of green and yellow
"fuzz" or "blur." This time, I KVM'd over to ubuntu and did a shutdown
and reboot at once; then killed the screen saver after getting back into
KDE3.
I was just listening to KMplayer and watching sites with required
kde-gnash.
When I Closed[*] the sites and killed the newscast, my load was still >
1.50
so I did a killall of the kde-gnash. Needs to be some way of
controlling
the number of kde-gnashes that are spawned. After the killall, xload
shows my load back down to practically nothing.
