Hi Daniele! That topic for discussion was added by me, and yes it does seem that it is related to the referred bug. In fact I will just add the bug number to the topic as well. My point is that the splash-screen is supposed to hide the ugliness of the desktop starting up (or at least, so I think). However at the moment when the splash-screen goes away the desktop has not finished loading yet and looks really ugly. I think that leaving the splash-screen on for some more time might help improve the polish of the KDE desktop start up. The GNOME guys have done away with the splash screen altogether ever since they have had a nice transition from gdm to desktop, which involves the panel sliding in from the bottom of the screen and the desktop wallpaper fading in from the gdm background. Since login into KDE is somewhat different, we should try to make sure that the ugliness is hidden from view and the splash-screen lingering for a little longer might help do it. Though this late into the cycle, I can only hope. -- Atri -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

For the first login, the suse greeter should start a bit later. For not so fast machine, it might help. Bye.
