I have a system running 6-stable that has a runaway condition with Xorg going to 99% cpu. I figured that I had crufty stuff left around ince I had upgraded from 4-stable to 5-stable and finally to 6-stable using source and backed up my main user and did a clean system re-install. My clean system and restored user worked ok on 6.1-release but as soon as I updated to 6-stable my Xorg problem returned.
It seems to be oriented around kmail. I look at a few emails (variable between 3 or 4 and many) and then, the system ceases to respond. It is the system that maintains my spambox mail from my ISP and 90+% of the time, nothing important arrives. So, adding a newuser to grab the current mail wasn't a problem. Topaz has been up now for 6.5 days and has processed a lot of mail using the new user since then without any Xorg problem. When Xorg starts grabbing all of the system, I don't have any problem ssh-ing to the system and telling FreeBSD to reboot. It is only KDE and X that are hosed. The keyboard on Topaz is dead for all practical purposes. I have to manually power off or use ssh to reboot. I would like to try and clean the KDE installation for that user and try to keep the historical mail. I could back up my Mail directory but I use Thunderbird to access my gmail account and haven't found where it is located :). Are there files in .kde that I can remove to clean up the user and then use the configure wizard to re-setup my user? If not, where does Thunderbird keep its mail and I will back it and Mail up, wipe the user and then add it back and restore the historical mail.
