No one picked up on my qn last time so I'll ask again - the prob is still
happening...
My RH5.1 Samba server is set up with default runlevel of 5 so I can XDM to
it using NetManage Xoftware.
Sometimes when I log on I notice that I have a lot of CPU util for no good
reason (I'm the only user for now). So, I run top and see that there are
two processes running the command "control-panel." One of them is eating
95%+ CPU time. The other one looks normal. If I kill the control panel
window that automatically pops up when I log in (this is fvwm), the
normal-looking process goes away and the hogging one is left running. If I
kill the hogging one (by PID) it goes away and life goes on as normal.
Why is this happening and how can I prevent it? This is really bothering
me.
