Description Jeroen van Disseldorp 2009-05-25 21:31:46 UTC
Version:           4.3 beta 1 (using KDE 4.2.85)
Compiler:          N/A N/A
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I installed KDE 4.3 beta 1 from Kubuntu's (Jaunty) experimental repository. My girlfriend and I use a dual-X-session setup, switching users/desktops with CTRL-F7 and CTRL-F9 for each of our desktops. This works great until the inactive desktop in the background auto-locks the screen. After that the x.org of the inactive user eats away 100% cpu time (100% on Athlon X2).

Switching desktops and unlocking the previously inactive screen allows the CPU to drop to the normal 4-5% again. CPU load spikes again as soon as the next background desktop is locked.

I witnessed this behaviour already since I started using KDE 4.2 betas, so might be an older bug.

KDE: 4.3 beta 1, packages from Experimental repository
Distro: Kubuntu Jaunty
Machine: Athlon 64 X2 4600+
Graphics: ATI Radeon X550

If you need any more info, please let me know.

The problem remains present in 4.3b2 and 4.3rc1. Not sure if this is an x.org issue or KDE, but it does not seem to stem from the graphics card driver: I changed graphics cards 2 weeks ago from ATI to NVidia (with proprietary drivers), but witnessed no change in behavior.

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

No response; assuming it was fixed since then.
