I hope this is not going to be a monologue... 

I disabled all graphical features, turnt off all animations and so on. I have only a title bar on my desktop. The problem never occured in idle state so far, but the cpu fan does not work as in other systems (I think this is a feature?), so the cooler is getting hot with the time. (At some point the fan is working, the cpu is not melting )

This point is interesting. If I start ANY application which takes some cpu (let it be vlc, nautilus, docky, even conky, ...) the system goes to 100%. The badass process seems to be gnome-wm. The system monitor says, that approximately 75% are light blue, 25% are dark blue. On a friend's computer (with ubuntu)  light color means "waiting for resources/devices" or something like that.

So I tried to change some system settings to effect gnome. Ubuntu Tweak enabled me to change the window-manager. I changed from "gnome-wm" to "Xorg". After a reboot I thought to have solved the problem, because my computer let me play approximately 5 minutes of a fullscreen video. Then the same symptoms like above. *arg*

Does someone recognize this problem?

i agree Jeff,

i went to the site and was immediately put off by the Libre teams choice of graphic styling.  it seemed dated, which is one of my personal issues with OOoooO anyway.

so yes more than just name changes are needed to get me to change.  i want to see an overhaul of the gui - NO I DO NOT WANT A FLIPPIN RIBBON - but i dont want it to feel like i am using office2003 either.

Thank you for the scripts; I like Conky and want to use it, but did not like the fact that it was always opaque, ie, in the way.

If you have any ideas for a new wallpaper please post them here. The image must be mainly blue and of a nature scenery.

Something like this:

Or do you think I should go down a different root and use something completely different? All of the wallpapers that jason has done will be added, this is just going to be the default. It will still have Webilder so wallpapers will keep changing.

PS- I'm a big fan of your blog, Jeff.
And I see what you mean about not mentioning Linux. Doesn't their server infrastructure run on Linux?
