First thanks to all Gnome developpers! I really love GNOME :)

I have the same bug on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid : g-s-m uses between 18% to 100% of my CPU.
I have a Mobile AMD Sempron 3200+.

Then I changed the sample frequency to its minimum both on "Processus" and "Ressources" tabs. I saw the following:
- when I just look at the "Ressources" tab, it is generally stable at 60% +or- 10%
- when I just look at the "Processus" tab, g-s-m uses between 20% to 60% on the "Processus" tab. But:
- when I stay ~15seconds on the "Processus" tab and then see the total CPU use, there are 2 cases:
(1) Peaks from ~10% to 60% every second, which is normal I think because it corresponds to the sample frequency of the "Processus" tab.
(2) sometimes the CPU use is blocked to 100% (which does not correspond to the "Processus" tab value that was 20%~60% as I said before), and remains blocked at 100% during 0~10sec from the moment I switched to the "Ressources" tab.

I hope this can help to debug...
