Hi,

My response  was a little too optimistic. :-(  Widgets using ksysguardd are 
still making plasma-desktop mad. They slowly raising it's the cpu usage. 
Enable/disable desktop effects doesn't make any difference. 

Btw. I'm also running rawhide - upgraded from a fresh F15 install, same kde 
version, different mesa/Xorg server) without any problems with those widgets. 
The nouveau driver is nearly identical in fc16 and fc15. 
(25.20110324git8378443.fc16 vs. 0.0.16-24.20110324git8378443.fc15). 

Can it be an interaction issue between X and plasma-desktop? Or any other 
ideas?

Thanks,

Martin Kho
