CPU level going to high levels, this is due to autohide bug: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172549 Kevin has fixed this. Thanks Kevin :) \begin{QUOTE} http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=65974 Try kdebase-workspace-4.1.2-5.fc10: I found the culprit, it's a patch which fixes flickering during the autohide animations which has this unfortunate side effect. I disabled that patch for now until it can get fixed properly. (I didn't disable autohide entirely, it's still there, it just looks ugly. ;-) Still disabled by default though, and as long as I have any influence on it, it'll stay that way (even if upstream decides to enable it at some point), I really hate autohide. ;-) ) http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172549 Kevin Kofler \end{QUOTE} > > Is this a known bug with Ktorrent?
