Public bug reported:

After update to 13.04, I noticed high cpu percentages for plasma-desktop and 
for Xorg.
'top' shows plasma-desktop using 90-100% of a cpu, and Xorg using about 40-50%. 
   If I
use gdb to attach to the plasma-desktop main process pid, then (of course) p-d 
goes
to zero cpu percentage, and Xorg goes to less than 5%.

I'll attach a log of a gdb session where I ^C'd the p-d process several times, 
then did 'where'
after each interruption.

The log also shows the result of running 'strace -p xxxx' on the p-d
process, FWIW.

Description:    Ubuntu 13.04

The version of plasma-desktop is 4:4.10.2-0ubuntu2

After I updated to 13.04, the graphical updater quit at the very end of the 
"updating" phase, and
warned that the system might be un-usable, although I have not noticed any 
obvious missing pieces
of my usual Kubuntu environment.      I use the Nvidia video driver, so I took 
the opportunity to
download the latest driver from Nvidia, compiled and installed that.    I'll 
attach the related
Xorg.0.log file, FWIW.
