Hello there, it seems I have a severe problem with my SuSE 9.0 KDE (not upgraded!). For some time now (I do not know if this a coincidence with the online upgrade I did) KDE applications have severe problems: - the konqueror needs about 2-3 minutes to start (I start it via console or icon, the cursor shows the symbol for loading, in the task bar a sign appears, then all this disappears and I have the impression that konqueror will not start....then after a longer time the window pops up out of nowhere) - kmail crashes regularly when I start a new Email and type the first letter for the recipient (the cursor becomes a clock and that's it; although if I type the email text, there is no such problem - kprinter locks up: when I send a job to kprinter, I see the kprinter window and another smaller status window saying initializing printer system, and then nothing happens When I lock out after one of those incidents I can no longer log in to KDE, as it stops while initializing system services. If this is not strange enough, sometimes I could print, sometimes I could write an email and sometimes konqueror starts straight away! I made a new user, but there the printer problem remains (the email problem not, but as this seems to be a problem with auto completion this is easy to understand). I know these problems are queer, but perhaps someone had the same problems or at least has a idea where the error is to be found.
