Anybody else seeing this with the Serval Pro? Or just with Intrepid & NVIDIA graphics?

I don't have my machine with me right now to get any specifics, just wondering what others have seen.

I'm not seeing it. Did you get that from top?

Does it do it with desktop effects disabled? I'm wondering if it's a compiz plugin acting up.

Found it. Google Gadgets was the culprit.

Nice to know. I was thinking about installing it! Guess I won't.
