Bug#194248: kdesktop very slow to load
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I believe I'm seeing an instance of this bug. When logging in normally (via
gdm) I get presented with a blank root window (with the nice standard X
effect) and nothing happens for a few minutes. This is after the kde splash
comes up and loads everything.
So, I did a startx (after stopping gdm) and loaded the kde components
manually. kwin and kicker started fine, as did klauncher. kdesktop takes
*ages* to do anything, but eventually gives me a desktop I can use. top
reports nothing hogging the CPU.
It could be a blocked file read with a long timeout perhaps?
This started happenning this morning. Last night it didn't happen. The only
difference between last night and today is...last night I was at home..today
I'm at work (it's a laptop). Last night I had an external monitor plugged in.
After it started happenning I upgraded my X packages to experimental, this
means that the 3D acelleration on my video card (ATO radeon 7500) is now
working (XFree86 4.3.something). kdesktop still takes ages tho.
