Hi,
I have a little problem with KDE. First, I will explain my setup. My workstation runs KDE and mounts a share via samba (cifs). The share is located on a server in my LAN. This server has an USB-drive which is shared over the samba-share. The USB-drive spins down after a defined time of inactivity.
Now the problem: Everytime I open a textfile in kate, kedit or I open a movie-file in kaffeine which is located on my workstations internal drive my whole systems hangs because the program (kate, kaffeine and so on) accesses some old files (history) on my "USB-drive-share". The disks wakes up, which takes a few secs, and then my system is usable again. I don't have a big problem with the system hanging while waiting for data form the USB-drive, but I have a problem with all my KDE-applications trying to read something from files which are somewhere in a history-list. Can I disable this "feature"? Is this a bug? I guess it is for my setup
I have already posted this in the gentoo forums:

My KDE-version is 3.5.7.
Thank you for your help.
