Not sure, since we don't know the cause everything goes. Anyway I don't think that's the case, it would have been reported by more people. > > There is something else - the second highest cpu use in top is something > called wrapper-2.0.

By second highest CPU process what do you mean? what's the WCPU reported by top? could you post output of 'top -d 1'? Even abridged to the first few rows. > > I think perhaps the very first thing to try next is just startxfce4 & Everything is worth a try, although, I've never seen such behaviour so I'm not sure what you should try.
