Hi Dan,
kworker, although due to the 'k' at the beginning may give the impression
that it is related to TDE, it is a thread in the kernel. That's why it
runs there, even if you login into XFCE.
The only thing where TDE could be directly related to the kernel is if you
have SAK turned on. In this case, a special 'event' device for capturing
the keyboard is created there.
Cheers

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.
