Hmmm.....

Does this apply only to KDE project apps, or to libqt apps in general?

I only regularly run one libqt app, skype, but it seems to take untold
ages to start up (like a full minute); it doesn't consume CPU or do lots
of disk/net I/O while it's starting, it just takes a long time.

Well I have no idea really, but I've been wondering why it's so damn slow...

Thanks,
