I've found 
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=1f4fb0225b278d1cf4145aebeb0bdd23dc8f62d5 
now, and the bugs that it references. The Fedora patch 
xserver-1.5.3-idletime-fix.patch solved my problem.

However, this fix is only on the 1.6 branch and trunk. Why not on the 1.5 
branch? IMHO, it's quite a major bug if the server consumes 100% of the 
CPU whenever running with GNOME 2.25.X.
