I have a problem with X and xfce.

Every time I start up xfce, X goes into an infinite loop eating up all of my cpu power.

That is the strace log I created. I don't know what to do about it.

Thanks in advanced.

I think I have same problem maybe.
I found that problem is in terminal (x11-terms/terminal). When it's running X eating about 90% cpu.

Solved upgrading to x11-terms/terminal-0.4.8

I am checking that right now, because I am not running the version your running.

Did it also seem that X continued to eat all of that cpu even after you closed the terminal?

Holy . . . That solved it. Though when I move it around a little X goes up when I stop X demands less. I wonder what is going on here?
