Hi Patrick;

The first step I would try is to disable compositing.

Settings Manager -> Windows Manager Tweaks -> Compositor -> uncheck "Enable display compositing"

See if that fixes the issue. I noticed your CPU is spiked from the applet.

Hi, compositor isn't enabled, and when i maximise claws the cpu go 3-4 seconde to 100 % .
I think this is a problem with video card, but where ?

Are you using the Nvidia driver? If so, check the applet under system configuration to make sure it is working properly.

Also, at 1680x1050 can you check and see in your BIOS how much RAM you have allocated your video card? It looks like you are using onboard video.

patrick.2 · « **Reply #5 on:** January 06, 2012, 07:56:08 AM »

yes , i use nvidia driver, it's an NV43 [GeForce 6600 LE] pci card .
it's strange, in the control center i have 1024 x 600 .
the nvidia driver is enabled in the control center, and glxgears work .

atlon 3000+
1.5 Go ram
6600 LE nvidia .

OK, so you are not using onboard video, and that card should be more than powerful enough to handle the resolution....

You need to run the command line applet to fix your resolution (fixes video card problems as well). I'll have to look it up, as I cannot remember the name. Your machine, with a 22" monitor, should not be running at 1024x600 - that's a netbook size screen.

i setup with 1680 x 1050 with PCC
nvidia driver are enabled , but i have the same problem .

patrick - try creating a new user, then logging into xfce with that user. See if the problem replicates itself. This is definitely a strange one.

patrick.2 · « **Reply #10 on:** January 06, 2012, 02:50:16 PM »

first, i install xfce phoenix, and then, when xfce is so "slow" i add lxde, ( with the same home / user ) work like a charm, i go to try with a new user.

patrick.2 · « **Reply #11 on:** January 08, 2012, 03:01:17 AM »

GermanTux · « **Reply #12 on:** January 08, 2012, 08:29:40 PM »

Hmmm...I am out of ideas. Looks like a re-install to me. Very strange.

onkelho · « **Reply #13 on:** January 08, 2012, 11:57:29 PM »

the cpu><graphic is not the problem,
Thunar and claws would try to search on locale networks for shares and this will take
a little time, on lxde is it not enabled, or the thunar-shares-plugin not installed ?

This 3 seconds should be normal, and if you not use shares/home-networks or so,
you be free to remove the plugin with apt-get/ SoftwareCenter or Synaptic.
