~100% CPU usage in Ubuntu 7.10

couldn't find this anywhere else. the subject line is essentially self-descriptive. i disabled compiz and all the other flashy bits (including the flashy bits in zsnes), and i have a bare minimum in the background. the system monitor tells me that Xgl is taking up most of the processor. as soon as i...
