Public bug reported: After a night-to-day unlock screen (my workstation stays awake but screen locked with screensaver activated), my CPU is almost burned by the 'gnome-session' process. But this this not the only problem. I can't launch any application, not even KDE-based apps. The one's that stood open like terminal, Firefox, etc, continues to work; but the new ones that I launch from gnome panel don't even show the window borders.
This continue happening since 1 month ago. My system is alway up-to- date. Sometimes, when I close Firefox process and relaunch it, that behaviour disappears, but 5 min after using my workstation it comes back and my Desktop stays unusable. I can't logout; need to force a X reboot by CTRL +ALT-BACKSPACE, then everything goes normal. When I lock my workstation for 2 hours (lunch time! :) ), nothing happens after unlocking and can work normally until the end of day. Please help me diagnosing this problem (I'm really lost and don't know where to start digging). It's a really a nasty behaviour. My machine is a Dell Optiplex 740 with 3GB RAM. I use Ubuntu Intrepid 32-bit.
