Since this isnt normal I came to the experts. HELP? Obviously this is not normal, but you have not really provided enough information that I can think of anything obvious to suggest. When say "clicking on an item", what do you mean? Are you selecting a menu item or something on the desktop or ...? So you have 'top' running in a terminal and you say that one to three processes are running actively -- which processes are they? Are they using a lot of CPU? If you log into GNOME using a clean user account (just create a new account for testing purposes), do you see the same behaviour? Does it always happen (i.e. is it repeatable, or just happens from time to time)? Is the machine connected to a network? If so, can it do DNS lookups (the period of inactivity could be related to DNS timeouts in some circumstances)? Are you just using the standard GNOME packages that came with the Mandrake installation? Maybe other people will have some ideas, but for now, I think we need a few more clues. So if you can answer those questions we may be able to make some progress.
