This happens only on first login. If I log-out and re-login, I see no such delay.Also,on first login,the battery applet(laptop) shows 'no battery'.If I relogin, the battery is recognised. During logging in, I see heavy disk activity and it is not possible to move mouse or even do a ctrl+alt+F1. When the KDE is logging in, if I manage to shift to Console 1, I see bootsplash and still incomplete.If I press ESC to see what is going on, seems like in a waiting state and usually the last line in the Console message is about HAL. It appears to me that for some reason HAL start is delayed, and that in turn delays KDE start. This had happened to me with OS 11.2 and 11.1 also. After about 4-5 months of installation, this happens and when I re-installed everything again, it went off.
