Hello there!

As the topic says, I have some problems with slow startup times of applications in KDE, and even KDE it self seems to take long time start up...

I am using Slackware 11.0 with KDE 3.5.5 and Xorg 7.1 with beryl and some stuff installed.

What I did was that I Installled a basic slackwaresystem without hardly any graphics packages at all. The only relevant package I installed from the original slack11 release would be the qt-package they included. The rest is installed post-install, and not from slackwares official sources.

I assume the problem is that I have missed to install some package, probably related to kde(that's why I'm posting here )

Here is a list of the relevent packages I have installed:

ls /var/log/packages | grep kde
kdeaddons-3.5.5-i486-1
kdeadmin-3.5.5-i486-1
kdeartwork-3.5.5-i486-1
kdebase-3.5.5-i486-7
kdegraphics-3.5.5-i486-1
kdelibs-3.5.5-i486-1
kdemultimedia-3.5.5-i486-1
kdenetwork-3.5.5-i486-1
kdesdk-3.5.5-i486-1
kdeutils-3.5.5-i486-1
kdevelop-3.3.5-i486-1
kdewebdev-3.5.5-i486-1

I DO know this is not all kde-packages, i just installed the ones i thought i needed, and left out the games and edu and such...

And I have the nVidia driver installed also, version: 1.0-9631

I can also tell you that I have follwed the tutorial at: http://easys.gnulinux.de/en/index.php/Main/Aiglx
I can also tell you that the beryl stuff don't work:/ but that's another problem

I realy hope that anyone can se any pattern or something here, or have had the same problem with realy slow applications start-ups... We are talking about approx. 60sec or a bit more... It is not just qt-programs but also GTK ones...
And I notice that the diod on the box for disc-acces flashes, so maybe it is someting else, like memory/swap related??

Anyhow, I just hope that someone has some idea

Just dumping this post up a bit

No one really has a clue?

I've got 512MB of RAM.

The nvidia driver is installed correctly.
I dont use the beryl/glx/aiglx stuff at all, the only "eye-candy" thing i use is those that can be configured in kde in the window-settings dialog.

KDE ran fine and pretty quick before this reinstall, so I'm wondering if there is something that i missed or something in the kernel-config... Just a thought... Someone maybee recognise the symtoms?
