Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.1) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 3.1.3 OS: Linux Sometimes, with probability 30% - 60%, after closing a Konsole window (or some other app's) kwin falls into a loop and together with kded and X raises CPU load to more than 2. This loop cannot be broken other way than restarting X server and KDE. Just closing a session in Konsole also results in the same behaviour. This is not the X bug, because it doesn't occur in other window managers. Note that opening windows, and "normal work" with apps is also ok. The problem exists both in KDE 3.2.0 and 3.2.1, regardless if it was compiled from source or installed from a binary package (Slackware). To reproduce: 1. open Konsole, run top 2. open another Konsole 3. close "another Konsole" 4. wait a few seconds 5. if you don't see something like that 1040 root 16 -10 68868 18m 3244 R 30.5 1.9 6:54.36 X 7334 pkolaczk 15 0 13672 13m 11m R 22.2 1.3 2:34.12 kdeinit 24950 pkolaczk 9 0 13948 13m 11m R 47.0 1.4 0:00.33 kdeinit ... then jump to point 2.
Oh, I forgot: Simply killing the kwin helps...
