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. -- -CraigW -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
