I've noticed that when the X server is running, there is constant disk
activity, so the disk on my notebook never gets a chance to spin down.  This
reduces battery life considerably.  Does anyone know why this is and whether
it's possible to fix it?  If not, I'll investigate...  is ktrace the right
tool?

I realize this is really an X question, but in my experience the people on
this list are a bit more knowledgeable about these things.
