Re: Weird behaviour - resize of konsoles has 2s delay

 Hi Valerio,

 Thanks for your suggestion, and your xorg device section.

 I copied that into my xorg, replacing my existing sections for
 my two 8600's.

 It just took 8 seconds to resize an empty (apart from a prompt)
 konsole that occupied a third of the screen.

 That is, I click and hold the top edge, and move the mouse up or
 down, and then wait.

 8 seconds!  Hot dang!

 I've counted up to 11 seconds in some cases, but it usually
 hovers around the 3-6 second mark.

 I'm not convinced it's a KDE 4 problem, but it doesn't seem like an
 X problem simply because it is affecting konsole and, seemingly,
 nothing else.  I think I saw a bit of tardy response from okular,
 but that hasn't been repeatable.  It doesn't appear to be text-
 based, as this email window (kmail) can resize very quickly.
 Ditto other applications I use (OOo, quanta, konq, iceweasel,
 amarok) -- all of them tend to be text-heavy.

 I modified my konsole settings - for several years I've used the
 dark/transparent background - but I went back to something
 more conservative just on the off-chance.  No change.

 I made the changes that thread you posted suggested - these
 were nvidia-settings from a user-level account - and again, no
 change.

 Remember, I'm on a quad-core box, 2GB ram, very little happening
 on the CPU front (trickling along at 8% on average), and one monitor.

 7 seconds - consistently! - just to resize one type of application
 is a particularly curious little bug.

 Hence I was interested if anyone else around these parts is seeing
 anything similar.  It's looking like I might be on my own, though.

 cheers,
 Jedd.
