Title:
  XServer eats up 100% cpu and is very slow on specific tasks with xfce
  desktop

Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am using xfce desktop.

  Issue:

  When I want to log out, after clicking on the log-out button from the
  start menu (that one which looks like the power button on a tv-
  remote), nothing happens for several seconds before the window to
  confirm the logout/lock screen/shutdown appears and the X process is
  eating up 100% CPU during that time.

  The same issue I have experienced when I took the screenshot: After
  pressing the key combination to take a screenshot, I had to wait
  several seconds before the screenshot has been presented. During the
  waiting period, 100% CPU was used.

  Even some other things seem to react somehow sluggishly while others are working as expected.
  But when logging out, it is always annoying to wait so long for the window to choose to log out/lock the screen/shutdown. 

  Expected behaviour:
  * The logout window is displayed immediately (as before).
  * The Screenshot is displayed immediately after taking it.
