I have seen this with my computer when X is very busy doing something and I move the mouse around. This is almost always when I start a new program or change fonts. The X server included with FreeBSD(and I assume other free unixes) uses large amounts of cpu when asked to do font size conversions or use a resizeable font. I changed my fontpath, it was the easiest thing I could think of. You could also change the fonts that you use durring startup. hope this helps, henry
