Is it possible that my $KDEHOME (~/.kde) has gotten overloaded over time and there are lots of config files that are read and parsed but no longer needed ATM? I'm thinking of reconfiguring my desktop, i.e. deleting/moving ~/.kde. > Another possibility, maybe NFS is causing your problems?

I thought when it starts it puts all the stuff into some kind of system cache and only saves that to disk when necessary. -- Jens Benecke "Und deshalb sollte man ja auch immer _alle_ Editoren installieren: XEmacs _und_ Vim." -- Sven Guckes http://www.hitchhikers.de/ - Die kostenlose Mitfahrzentrale für ganz Europa
