Hi,
[snip]
In short, at completely unpredictable time intervals one of either gnome-panel, gnome-settings, gnome-vfs-daemon or nautilus will suddenly jump to using 100% of the CPU (and the system grinds to a halt).
[snip]
It should be noted that this is on an AMD64 machine.
Cheers,
Jon
Seems it's not Gnome's problem, but AMD64 port. I've experienced the same behavior in KDE on Opteron. After making the swap partition twice as big as RAM it looks like it's gone. Not sure about the formula, but just try to resize your swap partition. Hope it'll help Dmitry
