Oded ARbel, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
As per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-
netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t420 an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.46). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status Confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Under KDE, X consumes 100% CPU after returning from VT switch

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Running on current trusty (though is has been going on for a while),
  when I'm using KDE and I switch to another VT, when I get back into
  KDE the X server is eating up all the CPU (of one core).  After a few
  minutes it settles down.

  Also, while the CPU is loaded, sometimes (not always but most times),
  my keyboard is not responding, and the desktop behaves as if one of
  the keyboard switch states is stuck - for example usually it looks
  like the ALT key is stuck and when I try to click on windows with the
  mouse, I get the move window behavior, as if I'm holding the ALT key.

  The behavior of CPU load is 100% reproduceable under KDE when doing a
  VT switch. It never happens when I use XFCE or GNOME shell (I wanted
  to try unity, but I'm having problems installing it). Also, it often
  happens when I get back from sleep to KDE (not 100% though).
