Only that you seem to have a bunch of things running which may not be 
required on a mythbox.
Kill beagle to start with!. And you probably don't need kgameportd, 
evolution, nautilus, cups, hal, python (daemon), and a few others 
running, if this is JUST a mythbox. You don't change hardware every 
day!...And I have turned off automount and lots of stuff, which is 
useful on a desktop but overkill to requirements for a mythbox. When I 
plug in a USB memory key, I have to mount it.
Unless you use mythweb or phpMyAdmin, you may not need apache running at 
all.
   bonobo??
I thought that was a compile type thing, not something you need all the 
time... But then I run KDE...
  gnome-screensav?????

Best answer may well be a post that just went by. You have done an 
upgrade which has replaced some modules. Try re-installing nvidia.
