Xorg monopolizes CPU after switching away with KVM

Hi all-

So I've just encountered a new issue ( for me ) with Xorg, and i'm 
having a heck of a time tracking down the source and/or the actual 
nature of the issue. Basically, I've got everything working fine and 
dandy, running Gnome 2.10 and a hostof other client apps. However, when 
i switch to another computer using my KVM, Xorg immediately begins to 
monopolize the CPU, heading up to 95% utilization. When i switch back to 
my machine, my USB keyboard works, but by USB mouse is unfunctioning. I 
have to force quit Xorg and restart to restore peace to the land.

Now, I'm not sure exactly what started this problem, since everything 
was working before, and i can't remember exactly /when/ it started. I'm 
running FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE, and xorg-6.8.2 and gnome2-2.10.1 from ports. 
I get no info in the logs either. I've searched the archives on this, 
but it's difficult to figure out exactly /what/ to search on to match 
this problem.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Regards,
darren david
