[Ben <294972@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Using 10.10 here. I noticed this problem, and my only solution is to do
sudo service gdm restart

I tried killing all my apps, deluged/Miro
I tried setting compiz/metacity/kwin
I tried using my nvidia settings to enable/disable the TV twinview (I use the TV to watch movies using SMplayer fullscreen)

It doesn't touch the Xorg CPU usage. After a gdm restart, I get
typically 5% cpu - right now watching a movie and working here on my LCD
screen I'm seeing it rising slightly after ten minutes to about 7.5 and
8.5% - time seems to have more effect than anything else regardless of
what I do.

This is also unrelated to my browser (right now I'm using Chromium
browser, but the same effect applies to a fresh Xorg session using only
Midori or Epiphany).

However totally convinced I have been, I disabled digital screenlet
clock from the TV monitor - the only screenlet running - and it appears
to have settled at less than 6% over the last two hours.

How does a screenlet affect the X session? 
Why not all the time?
Does anybody really understand this stuff?

It's been an intermittent problem, so only time will tell if that was
it.
