FYI I just saw this bug in Xubuntu 10.04, running as a VM under Virtualbox 4.2 and OSX.
top showed 100% for Xorg process. Attaching strace to it gave the attached screenshot. After a few seconds of this scrolling up the whole graphic system froze, but I can still ssh to the VM happily, and CPU utilisation has dropped back down to zero. >From the ssh session: brian@gateway:~$ ps auxwww | grep X root 739 77.7 5.7 116344 29136 ?
