Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

Running karmic beta as of 2009-10-15, here's 'top' on my box, which is
sat here doing nothing except run 'top' in a console:

This is with compositing turned on.  I suspect that it's re-drawing the
screen with every vertical refresh interrupt.  I've been told before in
another bug that this is normal, but eating my CPU for no reason is not
normal, and compiz certainly doesn't behave like this.

I have an intel GMA965 if it makes any difference?

If I turn off compositing, `top` looks like this:

i.e. it's nowhere to be seen now.

This is a Kubuntu deal-breaker for me :(
