Question Why would bdm-binary take 50%+ cpu on Fedora?


that's a typo in the title: gdm-binary, not bdm-binary. sorry.

i'm running fedora core 2 on my 800mhz celeron. from the desktop, if I open a terminal window and run 'top', it shows that gdm-binary process is taking over 50% of the cpu!

it's on the root user. rest of the cpu is taken by setiathome. is the gdm-binary process similar to the windows system idle process in that it shows the 'rest' of the cpu available? Or is there something wrong?
