Gnome and CPU load

Hi,

I have an old version of the GNOME package installed via Fink, and I
am not trying (again!) to upgrade it to the latest version.  Problem
is, as soon as I upgrade I get to have X11 eat up almost all the CPU
cycles.  I had to revert every time to the older version to have a
decently working installation.  My .xinitrc looks like this:

    source ~/.profile
    e16 &
    exec gnome-session

It does not matter which window manager I use, once the GNOME session
gets established the process X11.bin loads one core to 100% and stays
there.  The GNOME desktop works otherwise well.

I am using Fink 0.29.13 on a Macbook Pro with Mac OS 10.5.8 and Xcode
3.1.3.  I tried upgrading my current installation and also starting
over from scratch with a brand new Fink installation, all with the
same result.

I would like to upgrade to 10.6 (so I will have to start with the
current set of Fink packages) and so I appreciate any suggestions you
might have on the matter.  I don't even know where to start to fix
this problem.

Many thanks,
Stefan
