Re: Constant disk access in 3.1?



I was fiddling around a bit more with this, and have found a solution of
sorts. I created a new user, and when I logged in, the disk access problem
did not occur. So, I removed the ~/.kde folder for existing users, and this
too solved the problem. This means I lost most of my settings, but the disk
access problem is gone.

There must be some setting in 3.0 that causes the disk access problem with
3.1. I am not sure how to figure out what setting that might be, though...
