Since upgrading to KDE 4.3 on Fedora 11 I have noticed that X CPU

remains at 80 - 99% and 15- 20%. If I end the session (ctl-alt
backspace) both X and plasma-desktop drop off to nil CPU usage.
Upon restart of KDE CPU usage for X and plasma-desktop is sometimes
normal (low) after the system settles, and some times not. But in all
cases, after some time the CPU usage for X and plasma-desktop climb back
up to 80 to 90% for X and 15 to 25% for plasma-desktop.
Anybody else seeing this?

After more experimenting I've found the following:
Each time I reboot my system, CPU usage for plasma-desktop and X is high (as described
above).
If I log out (via the Leave menu) and log back in, the high CPU usages remains the same.
If I kill X (ctl-alt backspace) then log back in, the desktop comes back up with
"normal" CPU usage for both, and it stays that way.
I have four CPU cores (two dual core Opterons), so the CPU usage is almost unnoticeable in
the UI. The UI is just sluggish enough to be noticeable. But, it wasn't until I
noticed consistently high CPU usage in Gkrellm that I began to investigate.
