We have pretty similar hardware; mine is also a 1.2 gig Athlon, with 384
megs RAM. I don't have KDE2, but I recently installed KDE3 from source.
Today, there haven't been any KDE apps run all day, so I launched
konqueror and timed it. It was fully loaded in 37 seconds, and in the
process of starting it launched about 7 other processes with names like
kdeinit: Running..., kdeinit: dcopserver, kdeinit:klauncher, kdeinit:
kio_file, and kdeinit: kio_thumbnail...
All those background processes will improve the subsequent loading of
other KDE programs, but 8 minutes for the first one is way outta line.
Something's wrong. Start it from a shell & see if you can weed out any
clues from the dozens of lines it spits out.
