Celeron 300a, 128 MB, mix SCSI/IDE HDs. All local, no NFS..
Bit pokier than your setup. -)
You don't say which version KDE you are running or Debian?
stable/testing/unstable ------- KDE 2.[01].[01]/CVS
I've got Ivan's most recent CVS snapshot debs here, with Debian
unstable. Over the past few months at various times with local CVS
builds and Ivan's FAST updated debs, I've experienced your problem. It
always seems to go away with new packages or another CVS pull.
Another possibility, maybe NFS is causing your problems?
