The same issues here since 10.04, now with emacs-snaphshot, emacs23 and OOo. Furthermore, running one of the mentioned applications slows my machine down---it seems to be frozen (Dual core CPU @ 1,86 GHz, 4 GB RAM). Yes, this is annoying. But vseguip's work around fixed it indeed and gave my machine a performance boost. Thanks vseguip!
