KDE Slowdown

[Drew Lane]

Did you try the slow KDE bugfix on this page:

I haven't experienced this myself, but then I'm still using YDL 2.2.

I thought it had frozen, so I tried to kill X, which eventually worked, but now the X startup is dreadfully slow. I'm using a text login. As soon as I do a startx, it slows immediately. The last time I logged in, it took a half an hour for KDE to finish its startup sequence. I checked the qt installation, apt says it is up to date. I ran Xconfigurator to freshen up the X config file, and I did an apt-get upgrade because it was due anyway, no joy. It seems to be KDE-related, non-KDE programs startup and run fine under KDE, but kmail takes over a minute to start, and Konquerer is also snail-paced at startup, opening a new window, and repainting.
