I have a dual boot PC, with Windows XP in a NTFS partition. If I do not shutdown Windows properly, for instance doing hibernate instead of shutdown, when I start Ubuntu Karmic the disk is very busy, and gnome-panel uses a lot of CPU. I have to reboot Windows, shutdown properly, and reboot Ubuntu. Then the problem is solved.
