I opted to upgrade to KDE 4.5.3, but I still have the same problem. When I open Kontact, Kmail, Kaddressbook, Knode, Kmail, Xorg consumes 90%+ of the CPU and the remaining 9-10% is taken by the application.
To add to it, since I have an extended desktop, my windows tend to take on an overlay of other windows: for example, If I have Firefox and Dolphin open, when I switch to firefox from Dolphin, then firefox has the contents of dolphin overlaying it. If I move the mouse around, I can see my web page, but it quickly gets overlay by the other open windows. Moving the window from one desktop and back sorts it out but just for a while... If I suspend compositing, all is well. I can work with all applications, including Kontact with no problem. Any pointers on this? -- Mike Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in a million chances happen 99% of the time. ------------------------------------------------------------
