If possible, I would try to reproduce this with a clean install of edgy, or a livecd environment. Since you dist-upgraded from dapper to edgy (I'm assuming) there may be a config file or something left over in your ~/.kde folder that's causing this problem. You might also try moving that folder to ~/.kde_backup or similar and have KDE recreate ~/.kde . Just some ideas.
If it's still a problem then you should report this upstream to bugs.kde.org, after checking to see if it's already in their bug tracker. ** Changed in: kubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: kubuntu-meta => kdebase -- High cpu load with newest KDE https://launchpad.net/bugs/66232 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
