Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Ubuntu Karmic beta (all updates installed), MacBook rev3 (early 2008)

On a system that has been upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04 to Karmic beta, Xorg constantly uses near-100% CPU. This is typical top output:
  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND            
  955 root      20   0  174m  39m  18m R   96  2.0 379:03.74 Xorg

A clean installation of Ubuntu Karmic on the same machine does not have
the same problem, but the problem should never happen regardless.

This is not bug 345224, because it did not happen with 9.04, and Xorg never freezes.
It probably isn't bug 379780, because it did not happen with 9.04.
It isn't bug 439138, because it happens after every login.
And it isn't bug 293637, because it happens regardless of theme.
