extremely slow KDE/Gnome

[Joss Winn <joss@josswinn.org>]

Hello,

Since running apt-get update/upgrade yesterday, both gnome and kde
are extremely slow to start - almost non functional - after the first login.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I was running mainly gnome but
also installed most of kde 3.1.1 at this time and wonder if it is
something the kde install has affected.

it's made the GUI system a real pain.  2D acceleration is fine but
login takes up to 5 minutes and some apps and preference settings
take several minutes, too.

cheers

Joss
