I think I figured out the problem. When one of the panel plugins was
updated in testing recently it somehow froze xfce4-panel. I then
restarted Xorg and noticed the CPU usage, what I didn't notice was that
the xfce4-panel process eating all the CPU was from the previous session
and hadn't stopped even when Xorg was shutdown.
I did a kill -9 on the process and restarted Xorg again and it's all
back to normal.
Sorry about that, I think this bug can be closed now.
