Have you tried to you run top in a shell to see if there is some process slowing down the machine?

no, i admit i didn't search top for such a process... i'll do... but the matter is that the machine is not slowed down... just the launch of a few applications is very, very slow... konqueror (but only in the file browsing modality), amarok, quanta, and maybe some more... but most of the applications can be launched normally and run properly...

try to start one of these apps in the terminal and watch the output... maybe there _is_ really something strange on your computer.
Think before you think.
