** Description changed:
Binary package hint: icewm
The CPU usage according to 'top' is consistently at 20%-30% for the
'icewm' process, with the Xorg process also using a similar amount.
This severely affects battery lifetime on my laptop, rendering icewm not
usable unless connected to a power supply.
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
$ apt-cache policy icewm
icewm:
Installed: 1.2.37-1ubuntu1
...
Usual CPU usage for IceWM is in the 0%-2% range.
May be related to bug #307306?
+
+ After experimenting with many potential changes, including
+ - icewm version
+ - xorg version
+ - nvidia binary driver and nvidia kernel module versions
+ the only thing that fixed the problem was to run IceWM under the intrepid
kernel version.
+
+ Under 2.6.27-11-generic there is no problem, but under .28 just running
+ X and a window manager eats a full CPU and a lot of power.
