Can you try to install the xorg-x11-server from http://widehat.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/MBoman/openSUSE_11.1/

That's what I'm using and I don't see these issues.
Comment 2 Istvan Szabo 2009-05-12 06:05:48 UTC 
I have tried that too, but it doesn't solves the problem for me (with vino-server running I still get high cpu)
Comment 3 Patrick Smart 2009-05-24 23:17:59 UTC 
I see a similar issue with KDE and the Xorg process of an idle user having a high CPU usage. I presume this is the same story. I installed the xorg-x11-server suggested above to see if it helps. Time will tell (or I will).

I cleared the needinfo flag as I suppose Istvan just forgot to do it.

Doesn't solve the issue for me either.

I'm not sure you are having the same problem as I do, because I think this is related to gnome only. But maybe not. Anyways i have found a workaround for the problem: turning off vino-server. So at this stage I cannot decide what causes the problem, the gnome-session, the xorg-x11-server or vino-server?
