[plug] High CPU usage in mandrake 8.1

[Steege, Phil E]

I use gkrellm to monitor my system and I saw a lot of cpu usage just after
logging in.  I had not started any main applications.
I used "top" to monitor processes and the highest cpu usage was
"kapm-idled".  It was running at 73% as root process uid 4.
I am using mandrake 8.1 and gnome.  I am not using kde desktop, but it is
available.
I used "man kapm" but it returned nothing.
I assume this is something involved with the power monitor daemon apmd.   Is
that correct?
