In response to hlxshady's previous post, I will sometimes leave my PC on overnight with Pidgin and firestarter only running and come back to a slow and unresponsive PC due to Xorg using 100% CPU. I have installed the patch and it fixes the problem pretty well. Gnome-Do still has about a 1/2 to 3/4 sec delay, but that is passable. Can someone tell me how to find out what is causing Xorg to eat up my CPU? I have:

Ubuntu 9.04 x64
ATI Radeon HD 3650
The patch applied

P.S. While we are here, can someone tell me how to make Metacity the default window manager to load? Normally, compiz would load and I would manually change it back to metacity, but after I applied the patch, whenever compiz loads the screen is black (I have firestarter set to load on startup). When the screen is black, I put in my password and the screen comes back to normal. I would just like to have Metacity load and skip the while process.

Thank you everyone, I appreciate your time! ^_^
