some of you may have installed KDE 3.0.x on your PPC and may see a problem with the duration of starting of an application. For example konqueror needs unbelievable long to start and so on ...
Yellow Dog Linux 2.3 comes with KDE 3 as default desktop and is having the same problem that you describe here. It is a real drag. At least SuSE PPC 7.3 does NOT make this buggy KDE 3 the default desktop and is still on KDE 2.x. That is to SuSE's credit. Thank you SuSE. A technical post about the KDE 3 slowness in opening Konqueror and other core desktop apps has recently posted by Bill Fink on the YDL mailing list and may be read in their archives, here: http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/pipermail/yellowdog-general/2002-July/00... Gnome on YDL 2.3 is working fine. So problem seems to be somewhere in KDE 3. Has anyone tried the
experimental QT3 packages you will find here:
ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfrueh/ and found it to remedy the KDE 3 slowdown?
