Bug Description
When I keep my machine running Breezy for more than 10h, the Xorg processes
stats to use 100% of CPU and nevers stops. It never gets below 80% of CPU usage.
Even if the machine is kept untouched, this problem happens. After X is
restarted, the system can be usable for a few hours and them the Xor processos
starts to 'eat' the processor again.
Tasks: 70 total, 2 running, 68 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie

So, it seems to me that it might be a bug.
A few data about my computer that might be important:

This problem is making my Ubuntu unusable for each 10 hours. I can keep easly
this machine online and running for more than a week with WinXP and I can't do
that half a day with Ubuntu.
If you need any further data, please, contact me.
