Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

Just opening system monitor (not sure if it's always)  causes one of my
CPUs to go to 100% usage. The process Xorg is the one that actually has
all the CPU usage but I guess it must be system-monitors fault.

$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)"
dpkg -l | grep xorg-core
ii  xserver-xorg-core                          2:1.4.1~git20080118-1ubuntu2     
          Xorg X server - core server
$ dpkg -l | grep gnome-system
ii  gnome-system-monitor                       2.21.5-0ubuntu1

I tried to find out what was going on and started a strace on the Xorg
process and that completely locked upp my system. Tried to switch to a
console with ctrl-alt-f1 but no success. Remotely connected to the
system with SSH and found that the CPU usage was good and as soon as I
killed -9 the strace process the system was OK again.
