The new (i.e. KDE 3.1) kdm takes an inordinately long time to startup on my system. After the switch to X, there's a delay of 15 to 30 seconds until the login screen (kdm greeter) appears. During this time, there's heavy activity on the disk.
My best guess is that kdm is exhaustively searching for some resource. This did not happen with earlier versions of kdm. Michael -- Michael Schuerig Face reality and stare it down. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --Jethro Tull, "Silver River Turning" http://www.schuerig.de/michael/
