Maybe you have it in infinite "register with session as respawn, exit,
register with session, exit, etc." mode. Though usually people saw
gconf and syslog also using CPU with that.

Could be another crash-on-startup or exit-on-startup bug, any bug that
crashes on startup will cause infinite respawn, same thing happens for
the panel.
