Running fc-cache can fix up a long delay when kdm is starting up, but I'm talking about a delay that occurs while KDE is up, both when new Konqueror processes (specifically Konqueror, nothing else) are started, and when the KDE save file dialog is being manipulated (and come to think of it, this was in Konqueror -- I was saving a web page -- so maybe this whole problem is only in Konqueror). The libstdc++5 problem caused C++ programs to fail to start entirely, not to pause strangely while they were running. In any case, I had downgraded to -pre5 within minutes of -pre6 being installed, as -pre6 was obviously causing problems. I'm now on -pre7, which seems to work. I have the feeling that this problem is ultimately some sort of odd locking problem. It might be in Konqueror itself (though why, then, does the whole system seem to freeze?), or in glibc, or the X server, or even the kernel (though why, then, does only Konqueror cause it?). Funny.
