Thanks for letting us know about this, Kurt.  Just to clarify a bit,
this high CPU usage you refer to happens even without running pan?
Do you mean it happens only when running System Monitor?  Is that the
gnome system monitor panel applet, or something else?

In any case, I don't see the problem on my install of Ubuntu 8.04, but
I do compile my own kernel FWIW.

Oh, and most important of all, are you running the 64-bit Ubuntu?
