"James P. Bennett"
My difficulty is a bit different. In the KDE environment, windows containing KDE apps are very slow to load (taking 4x - 6x as long as they did with SuSE8.2+ KDE3.1). Other apps are just as fast or as slow as before. I infer this relates to difficulty finding shared object libraries.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
I suspect it has to do with new features added to Qt and KDE. My prime suspects are the pixmap cache, and desktop sharing, but that is only a guess. It acts as though every Qt widget is having to pass huge quantities of data through the DCOP server as part of the construction process. (Perhaps for every level in Qt's very deep hierarchy.) I finally gave up on KDE and switched all my systems to fvwm2.
