Hmm .. thanks for the comments.
FWIW, on my machine, it takes :
* 75 seconds to login from the KDM prompt to a fully
initialised desktop
* 15 seconds for Kword to load with an empty document
* 18 seconds for the Kword handbook to launch from the
Kword Help menu
I *do* have the /tmp/.ICEthingy magic enabled by means of a home-grown
script in /etc/init.d.
BTW: anyone know whether this magic is going to be built in to Debian
KDE by default in future releases ?
