So, yeah, 30% CPU seems really odd. Assuming you're not on a Pentium II or something ;)

LOL well it's a 2GHz Core Duo, so a bit slow by today's standards. But it's run TDE on Ubuntu for several years without this issue. It has to go back to its user very soon, though, so if I can't find a solution fast, it'll have to go back with XFCE rather than TDE.

I've tried several different 4.x & 5.x kernels, and switched from tdm back to lightdm, all with no change.

The problem task has a PID in the low 3-digits, so it's something that starts pretty early.
