The problem is in scim-bridge-client-qt4, if you do not have scim installed it delays applications starting up by several seconds while it tries and fails to connect. If you do it insists on running scim even when you don't need it and when quitting it just restarts. scim-bridge- client-qt (qt3) and scim-bridge-client-gtk have no such problems.
I've removed scim-bridge-client-qt4 from the kubuntu-kde4 seed for now. ** Summary changed: - KDE4 is somehow "slow" after upgrade to hardy + scim-bridge-client-qt4 requires scim ** Changed in: kubuntu-kde4-meta (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- scim-bridge-client-qt4 requires scim https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203334 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
