It seems to be related to some KDE app, at least here. Perhaps
KMail or Akregator, because twice already I've just closed
some apps and CPU usage went down.
I do run such apps as aKregator and amaroK. Closing amaroK did not
change anything, but I didn't try aKregator. It's too late to try now,
I too am being plagued by this. Using Kubuntu/Dapper (i386) on my AMD
Athlon 64 3700+ system with 2GB ram, gam_server constantly consumes
around 11.6% CPU according to top. It doesn't matter what applications
are running or not. I tried to switch it to do polling on /* instead,
which only tripled
