Dear all,
I'm using kubuntu karmic with old nvidia graphics. I was fighting with 100% CPU 
usage in xorg very often. I had to install lxde as an alternative to kde, to be 
able to use my computer at all.

Few days ago I have finally found my problem - the CPU hungry task was
ica. I don't know why this task is running by default in ubuntu, but
killing it always solves the problem, CPU usage drops below 2%.

the command is: 
sudo killall ica

I hope this can help to others,
Jan
