The startup sequence of XD2 seems to hit a timing issue with 2.6.x kernels so that the top panel's applet icons aren't displayed in the panel itself. That however is a minor problem - the big one is that if I don't go right-clicking the panel in some 10 seconds (which makes the icons appear, btw) my CPU usage goes to 100% with these in 'top': 64 processes: 62 sleeping, 2 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 67.9% user 32.0% system 0.0% nice 0.0% iowait 0.0% idle Mem: 1033892k av, 207756k used, 826136k free, 0k shrd, 15052k buff 128844k active, 47412k inactive Swap: 514040k av, 0k used, 514040k free 109240k cached PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME CPU COMMAND 2327 asuardi 25 0 15648 6428 14972 R 27.9 0.6 0:04 0 notification-ar 2271 root 15 0 63732 15M 51256 S 25.1 1.5 0:04 0 X 2320 asuardi 15 0 15300 5236 14848 S 23.7 0.5 0:03 0 pam-panel-icon 2313 asuardi 15 0 19696 11M 16988 S 21.5 1.1 0:03 0 gnome-panel 2258 root 17 0 3932 1064 3788 R 0.9 0.1 0:00 0 top 2322 asuardi 15 0 15588 6512 14916 S 0.1 0.6 0:00 0 gnome-cups-mana 1 root 16 0 1380 480 1344 S 0.0 0.0 0:07 0 init 2 root 34 19 0 0 0 SWN 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 ksoftirqd/0 3 root 5 -10 0 0 0 SW< 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 events/0 4 root 5 -10 0 0 0 SW< 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 kblockd/0 5 root 15 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 khubd 6 root 25 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 pdflush [NB: the first process is notification-area-applet] and the desktop is only partially usable (it is still possible to have the root window menu activated, but nothing else apparently). Eventually this leads to a stage where you can only Ctrl-Alt-Bksp out of X (or Alt-Fn to a console and kill the spinning processes). If instead I'm not too slow and I prod the panel with a right-click on it, nothing of this happens and the desktop is as happy as with a 2.4.x kernel under the hood. Since this is 100% reproducable and very easily, I'm available for testing and providing further info.
