KDE slow startup

["Matjaz M." <mrsnikta@siol.net>]

I have installed the enviroment through apt-get. The KDE desktop needs 
too much time to start - it stops at initializing services, blinkig icon 
for aprox. 3 min, then the splash screen disapears and i wait another 2 
min. to see the desktop  - also some programes, (its explorer in 
windows, how is it called under linux? i dont remember ...) have slow 
startup (1 min), but most of them starts good. Konqueror for web starts 
quickly and runs ok. However if i disconnect with poff (-a), everything 
is okay. These things only happen when i am connected.

Also, i dont know is this is related, i can not set hostname. Actualy i 
can, but when i restart, its set back to (none).


thank you for your answers,
