Now there is something wrong here I guess...

It's worrying enough that Xorg is eating up 100% cpu power (fortunately 
only a single of four cores).

What's even more worrying, however, is the fact that this was AFTER 
issuing a tirade of "kill -SIGsome 8727" commands from root console... 
AND a few "kill -9 8727" as well... WHAT THE...?!?

Is this some kind of Highlander process, that's immune to any fatal 
wounds, and wants all the power for itself??


Looks like I'm doing something seriously wrong in my attempts to install 
openSUSE. First try went good, but then I tried to resize and move 
partitions around, apparently screwing things up. Now even complete 
re-installs won't seem to screw things back down again, for /some/ 
obscure reason...
