xorg logs? dmesg output?

check if skype is eating too many cpu cycles.

Isn't it skype memory leak? Since I had switch from oss to alsa + pulseaudio, It happen sometimes to me.

i might have the same problem.

does it only happen when skype starts up? does the problem go away in ~10 seconds? does the problem go away faster if you go to the console and back (ctrl-alt-f1 then ctrl-alt-f7)?
for me, the answer is yes for each question.

does it happen for other applications also?
starting kinfocenter always causes the problem for ~10 seconds for me

during the problem, X uses 100% cpu and htop says it's kernel cpu

i don't know how to fix
