You must be running XFree86 4.0.x. I don't have to do the -pthread
stuff and it seems to be working. I recently updated libmng,, which
broke KDE-2. This forced me to rebuild qt-2.2.4 and then all of the
kde-2.1 stuff. I had updated my ports and somewhere in there had
updated libmng without thinking about the consquences. Fortunately on
that computer, a rebuild of kde isn't that long. That system, which
has dual 866 coppermines, is running W2K right now. I have to process
some old setiathome wu's before they expire, which is around two
weeks. It doesn't take long to catch up and then I can check it again.

At one point a while back, I had kicker taking 99% of the cpu-1 and
everything else was running on cpu-0. I saw strange activity on top
one time and tried loging out. The screen only blinked and the
activity from top went back to normal. I haven't seen this recently.
It may be that what ever triggers it hasn't been executed recently.
