What happened is I'd upgraded to the bad nvidia-drivers-180.35, downgraded to 180.29, then upgraded kde from 4.2.0 to 4.2.1. One weird side-effect of the 4.2.1 upgrade is that I lost my plasma desktop layout. No biggy, I just added the plasmoids back. Then I noticed the lancelot cpu usage issue. I have not noticed any behavior problems. Kde 4.2 has been rock solid. ~x86 system emerge --info at http://pastebin.com/m6914fe90 (1 month duration) lshw at http://pastebin.com/m5a355800 (1 month duration) All I can think to try is to move my ~/.kde4.2 directory and let it regenerate. Thank you, Roy
