Hi Erez,
The problem is the "desktop" concept - a bunch of applications that
work very hard try to guess what you will do next and tell you what you
want.
If you just run X with a window manager then you wont have this problem.
But before you blame the distros, think about how we got here. We wanted
Linux to be an alternative to MS Windows, so we made it (at least in the
major distro manifestations) more like MS Windows, and this has been
relatively successful. The downside is that it really is more like MS
Windows.
Tsom kal,

Subject: when linux was linux
i used to think that linux is a system that countrary to windows, can run
multiple users with no problems
then came the "modern" desktops
ones that scans your disk so you could find what you want in an instant
or do other 'windows-like' things
so we found ourselves with 6 instances of nautiluis (we have 6 users) eating
all the 4 cpus
after searching the web and failing to solve the problem, i decided to move to
a lighter desktop
so we all switched to xfce4
but now we have 6 xfdesktop processes eating the 4 cpus, with no solution to be
found
oh, when linux was linux and not trying to imitate windows ...
btw: running CentOS 6.3
