Ah, that did it.

But the strange thing is that:

ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args | sort -k 1 -r | head -10

Tells me that top is being run by root and is using 99-100% of one CPU.
However, System Monitor does not display top as running. I guess that
is because I run System Monitor as a user, not as root. 

So I ran top as root, then killed it within top. I think this was
murder made to look like suicide. In any event, then I ran:

ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args | sort -k 1 -r | head -10

Again, and top was no longer running. And my CPU monitor applet in the
gnome-panel dropped back to its normal demure speed. I believe the
mystery is solved. 

The only question is, how did top get started by root in the first
place?
