X Maxing CPU After ScreenSaver Runs

[Richard Heck]

I've been having an odd problem recently and hope someone can give me
some advice. This is KDE 3.5.4-6 under FC 6.

From time to time, my desktop system becomes almost completely

unresponsive when it returns from the password-protected blank screen
screen-saver. The mouse moves, but nothing else functions. If I log in
via ssh from my server and run top, it shows X running flat-out but
basically nothing else happening. No wonder nothing functions. So I have
to kill X and reload.

Any idea how I can try to diagnose this problem?

Upgrade to kde-3.5.6 which has been available for quite sometime for
FC-6 now.

Sorry. Typo: It's KDE 3.5.6-4.

Looking at /var/log/messages &/or ~/.xsession-errors may help you find
something. But Rex is right, upgrade to the latest version of KDE first.
