I have the same issue. The metacity process that you notice using 100% cpu is not the one you are actually using. It is a process left over from an X11 crash, you can 'kill -9' it.
Not really useful, but here is how I reproduce the X11 crash: Run Half Life 2 in Steam (in wine). Exit the game. X11 backtrace points at the nvidia driver, so nothing Ubuntu can fix there, but more info can be better than not enough I suppose. -- metacity process uses 100% CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/350174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
