** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xfwm4
  
  I'm running Xubuntu Jaunty after an upgrade, and I'm having some major
  problems with the default terminal app (xfce4-terminal).  Namely that
  it's running slow and eating up cpu usage.
  
  To test this, I opened an xterm window and put top in it.  Then, I
  opened another xterm and an xfce4-terminal window.  If I enter into the
  xterm and hold down enter, Xorg spikes to maybe 7% or 8% CPU usage.  If
  I enter into the xfce4-terminal window and hold down enter, Xorg spikes
  to between 40% and 50% CPU usage and stays there until I release the
  enter key.
  
  It is also slow to refresh and resize, unlike xterm.  If I run top in
  xfce4-terminal and return to the window, it can take up to a full second
  to redraw.
  
  Obviously, there is some sort of problem here.
+ 
+ WORKAROUND:
+ Adding the following to your xorg.conf should do the trick:
+ 
+ Section "Extensions"
+          # Workaround for slow xfce-terminal redraw times
+          Option "Composite" "Disable"
+ EndSection
